To accelerate planning for change, the three "Preconditions" of the Social Movement Action (SMA) Framework ["Change is valued and necessary"; "Receptivity to change" and "Social movements are recognized"] and three of the action cycle phases of the Knowledge-to-Action (KTA) Framework ["Identify the problem"; "Adapt knowledge to local context" and "Assess barriers and facilitators to knowledge use"] can be applied as complementary frameworks.  

Three of the relevant framework components are highlighted below. For more details on these and the other components, see the framework pages.

Other sections of the Leading Change Toolkit

In addition to "Planning for change ", the Leading Change Toolkit also has two other sections to support your change journey: "Making change happen" and "Sustaining change". "Engaging persons with lived experience" helps you to include individuals with lived experience in your change.
