Abstract

While prescriptive assumptions are related to strategies (and alternatives) devised to address a problem, transformational assumptions relate to how the immediate results of a strategy, program, or intervention (outputs) are expected to lead to long-term desired changes. This chapter appraises the use of elicitation, a program theory matrix, and the theory of change approach to explicate transformational assumptions and proposes an integrative approach.
