What is Transformative Change? • Sustainable change • Gradual progress/steps/process • Should come from within • Change in complex systems • Change from within (behavior), Individual-HH-Community • Forming networks & partnerships • Social change • Change leading to something else that makes a difference • Process eg. radical vs small steps
What is Transformative Change? • Change in mindset, values, beliefs, perceptions, leading to sustained action. • Transformative change occurs at different levels (individuals, HH, community) with different challenges in each. • Positive change eg. change that improves livelihood of the people. • Context specific- what is transformative to one may not be to another. • Enabling conditions for transformative change to occur. • Process with a direction that cannot be externally driven. Must be organic and come from locals to be sustainable.
What is Transformative Change? • GT mechanisms should be engraved in everything we do. Fundamental, change in essence/nature, results in creation of something new. • Adaptive, learning and sharing can drive transformative change. • Sustainability and commitment (whole picture) • Changes in belief, values, mindsets, paradigms. • Fundamental change from one step to another. • Across several domains, eg. technological, social, cultural, economic. • Who defines desirable transformative change (cultural context)?
What is Transformative Change? • Small transitions in different domains add up to a transformation. • Is change irreversible? • Is there a tipping point? Positive vs Negative. • Transformative change needs intervention, capacity catalyst, stimulation. • Change, mindset, norms and behavior. • Collective work and networks. • Transition from one state to another • Behaviour, capacity, agency – from within (men & women) • Across scale, engage and sensitize men and women
What is Transformative Change? • Collective action, fundamental change, deeper understanding of root causes, belief, attitude and paradigm • Needs time, processes, guidance, leadership • Having personal power to innovate/change • Build capacity and perception to change on their own • Process of empowering community who can design that intervention for livelihood improvement • Structural change eg. socio-political-economic • Process of change intervening for a broader change • Change in behavior from negative to positive • Key is understanding root causes
What is Transformative Change? • Who?Communities; How? PAR researchers and community • Working on roots rather than superficial areas
