Stage 1 Theories of Change
This report contains four Theories of Change; one each for Scottish Rural Network, Scottish Rural Action and Community Led Local Development and one overarching Theory of Change which covers the rural community support ecosystem as a whole. These documents are essential reading to understand the key vision and aims, inputs (e.g. funding, people and skills, policy and legislative framework, wider policy landscapes and research), the activities (i.e. what was delivered), the outputs (i.e. tangible things that have occurred), the short/medium term outcomes (i.e. positive changes made) and the long-term impacts (i.e. larger societal positive changes) underlying the three elements. They provide a useful descriptive overview of each of the elements under review.
