ACTRA Research Project

ACTRA is an NGO focused on reducing crime and violence in Columbia through group therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), incubated as part of the Charity Entrepreneurship program. Their choice of methods is informed by their cost effectiveness, research-based evidence of impact, simplicity of implementation, and human rights focus.

When ACTRA started a year ago, their initial Theory of Change (Theory of Change) was based on their Ambitious Impact/ Charity Entrepreneurship report, which was then structured into a step by step ToC. You can find an (internal) work-in-progress Theory of Change of ACTRA in the document below.

This project is focused on updating ACTRA’s evidence behind the ToC and producing an updated version of the evidence in a step-by-step or a report style paper about the ToC.

Here you may find some additional background, along with our communication with ACTRA.
