CCRP Thematic Intervention Areas
The CCRP Theory of Change (ToC) describes the broad systems change to which the CCRP contributes. The thematic intervention areas describe the more specific topics the CCRP invests in, as well as shorter-term outcome areas. The thematic areas are present throughout CCRP theoretical frameworks including regional ToCs, thematic ToCs, and project ToCs and are also connected to the CCRP principles and The McKnight Foundation’s values, of stewardship, respect, equity, and curiosity, which describe how we do our work.
