There are various ways of explaining the theory of change Kimberley to Cape is employing to make a positive difference to the future of the North. This table shows how KtC actions address key pressures from a natural assets based theory of change.

Alternatively, the diagram below shows at a high level the link between our current activities and short, medium and long term goals.

More specifically from a work plan perspective, Kimberley to Cape will deliver the following  by 2016/17 (pdf version):
