| Details | A program theory concept known as the Theory of No Change (TONC), put forth by Christine Wörlen, provides an evaluation framework that is especially applicable to such CCM project interventions, and can serve as a useful tool in assessing how likely (or not) it is that interventions will achieve a market transformation. With close reference to the TONC evaluation framework, this chapter identifies and analyzes eight different CCM projects, from five different ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Important findings from this analysis include the following: almost all the projects studied addressed barriers of ignorance and lack of expertise for all agent groups (consumers, supply chain, policy makers, and financiers); none of the projects has specifically addressed the barrier of cost effectiveness; and only a few projects specifically focus on harnessing the interest and/or motivation of relevant agent groups. |
