Theory of change
A clear logic model connecting activities to the specific educational outcome you want to demonstrate.
Programme design, implementation, and evaluation frameworks for corporate and foundation-funded education initiatives, delivering measurable impact and sustainable outcomes across India.
Corporate CSR teams and education-focused NGOs are creating transformative initiatives that strengthen learning, empower communities, and expand educational opportunities. As expectations for transparency and measurable outcomes continue to grow, robust programme design and evaluation have become essential for demonstrating meaningful impact.
Up-Lurn partners with CSR teams, foundations, and NGOs to design high-impact education programmes supported by a clear theory of change, strategic implementation frameworks, and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems. Our approach enables organisations to confidently demonstrate outcomes, communicate impact to boards, donors, and regulators, and maximise the long-term value of every education initiative.
We work backward from the change you want to see — in learning outcomes, institutional capacity, or access — to design a programme and evaluation plan that can actually demonstrate it.
A clear logic model connecting activities to the specific educational outcome you want to demonstrate.
Structured due-diligence on implementation partners so funded work reaches the right ground reality.
Indicators, baselines and data-collection tools sized to the programme — not enterprise-scale overkill.
Board- and donor-ready reports that translate field data into a story your stakeholders can act on.
Outcome numbers that stand up to donor and regulator scrutiny — not activity logs dressed up as impact.
Implementation partners selected against a defined bar, reducing dependency on personal networks.
Data collected midway lets you adjust while the programme is running — not learn what went wrong afterwards.
Define the specific educational outcome the programme or CSR mandate is meant to achieve.
Build the logic model connecting activities, outputs and outcomes.
Design indicators and data collection tools appropriate to the programme scale.
Train the programme team to collect data and populate the reporting structure.
A documented theory of change, a working evaluation framework, and a reporting structure your team can sustain year over year — built for genuine accountability to your board or donors.
