About the Teaching Paper
This resource introduces four structured templates—Project Planning, LogFrame, Theory of Change (ToC), and Results-Based Management (RBM)—adapted for non-profits seeking to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The paper explains the academic foundations of these tools while providing practical guides, reflection questions, and a case study on maternal health in Kenya. Each template balances strategic rigor with real-world usability, supporting both accountability and adaptive learning.
By equipping practitioners with ready-to-use frameworks, the Teaching Paper bridges theory and practice, making SDG implementation more effective, inclusive, and transparent across diverse organizational settings.
Key Topics
- Project Planning templates for clarity and resource allocation
- Logical Framework Matrix (LogFrame) for structured accountability
- Theory of Change for mapping causal pathways and assumptions
- Results-Based Management (RBM) for integrating indicators and evaluation
- Case study from Kenya on maternal health outcomes
- Reflection questions and practical adaptation strategies
Academic Value
This Teaching Paper contributes to the pedagogy of non-profit management and SDG practice by situating project management tools within both academic literature and field application. It builds on authorities such as Bryson, Drucker, and Patton while offering applied templates for students, managers, and researchers.
