The world's estimated 600 million dogs face a range of welfare issues which vary according to local context and locally accepted norms regarding attitudes towards dogs. Dogs Trust Worldwide, an international Non-Governmental Organisation which works to improve canine welfare, is applying a Theory of Change framework to define and unpick key challenges faced when collaborating with local partners to achieve its mission. We describe the Theory of Change approach and the importance of Human Behaviour Change within this. We identify questions which need to be addressed as part of articulating our ways of working with partner organisations and acknowledge issues around generating evidence to measure the impact our work has on the ultimate beneficiaries.
据估计，全球6亿只狗面临着一系列福利问题，这些问题因当地情况以及当地对狗的态度所接受的规范而异。国际非政府组织“全球狗狗信托”致力于改善犬类福利，该组织正在应用一种变革理论框架，以界定和剖析在与当地合作伙伴合作以实现其使命时所面临的关键挑战。我们描述了变革理论方法及其内部人类行为改变的重要性。我们确定了在阐明我们与合作伙伴组织的工作方式时需要解决的问题，并承认在生成证据以衡量我们的工作对最终受益者的影响方面存在的问题。
