What tools do we use to bring about change?
In a results-based logic, a project/initiative always starts from where it wants to go and based on that selects the tools it will use to get there. This activity will look at exactly these tools for change - what do we do to reach the vision of success? Examples for tools for change would for example be: capacity-building in conflict analysis, inter-group dialogue, peace education, etc. These can also be called "activities".

| Participants: | 3-8/9 |
| Time: | 60-120 min. |
| Materials: |

| Process: | 1. Give a recap of what was done so far, remind of the results-based management logic (see above) and say that you are now going to focus on the conrete tools the peacebuilding initiative wants to use to bring about the desired changes. Also, make sure that there is a common understanding of what is meant by 'tools for change'. Brainstorm some examples if necessary. 2. Ask participants to build two groups with the task to discuss what - in light of the previous steps - would in their view be effective tools for change. Ask them to list their tools on a flipchart. 3. Stick the flipcharts of both groups to the wall. Bring them together in one overview list, just naming the name of the tool. Consider creating categories of tools (it could be that different terms are used to describe one tool). 4. Now, lead a group discussion, focusing on each tool one by one:

| Note: | Often, the organisation you work with has a specific portfolio of peacebuilding tools that were used in other projects before. It would be good for you as facilitator to have an overview of these. You can use this knowledge to encourage thinking and reflection. The vision of success - the 'guiding light' of the design of the project - should be visible to all participants throughout the session. |
