is a tool used for developing solutions to complex social problems. It therefore provides a
model of how a project should work, which can be tested and refined through monitoring
and evaluation. A theory of change is also a specific and measurable description of change
that forms the basis for planning, implementation and evaluation.
 Problem statement

place to ensure the quality and accuracy of data being collected using the methodologies
chosen for a particular study (Joan, 2004).
Validity of Instruments

measures the concept in question and whether the concept is measured accurately
Reliability of Instruments
If a researcher administers an instrument to a respondent twice and gets the same results
on the second administration as the first instrument, then there is reliability of the
instrument (Mugenda and Mugenda, 1999).
