Couple-Focused Interventions: A Theory of Change

ouple-focused interventions are a potentially valuable strategy to address this concern of FTPs and accelerate progress toward achieving reproductive health goals. In this technical report, E2A builds on the findings of our recent literature review, “Couple-Based Approaches in Reproductive Health: Implications for Global Policy, Practice, and Research.” This document provides an overview of E2A’s couple-focused theory of change and ideas for its practical application in the field through:

• A graphic depiction of the theory of change and a detailed explanation of its component parts
• An exploration of what program implementation at the TOC’s potential intervention points might look like, based on learnings from the literature review and E2A’s own findings
• A presentation of suggested monitoring and evaluation indicators for TOC components that CFI-focused programs can use to measure program impact
