Theory of change and causal impact pathways
The diagram above lays out the program’s theory of change and causal impact pathways which demonstrate how the proposed interventions will lead to tangible outcomes and contribute to macro-level impacts.

: il me semble que cela se réfère à "causal pathways", non ?

causalité
"Causalité" englobe l'ensemble de cette expression :
Impact= relation de cause à effet
Pathways= processus ou mécanisme qui produit l'effet.
Causal = l'effet en lui-même
Impact= relation de cause à effet
Pathways= processus ou mécanisme qui produit l'effet.
Causal = l'effet en lui-même

: so you decided that the idea of "pathway" is surplus to requirement, the writer just padding the text with irrelevant additions? // "Pathways= processus ou mécanisme qui produit l'effet" misses the key point - or you missed it.

You simply don't get it... I never said such a thing. Read the FR definition/ This is exactly the French definition... "Processus qui unit la cause à l'effet". I admit this is quite philisophical and hard to understand.

enchaînement de causes et d'effets / des impacts
l'enchaînement de causes et d'effets (produisant l'impact prévu)
l'enchaînement des impacts
la succession des impacts
The writer didn't pluck "pathways" out of thin air - there is a clear parallel with "metabolic pathways" in physiology
pathway /ˈpɑːθweɪ/ noun
a track that constitutes or serves as a path.
"a tree-lined pathway"
BIOCHEMISTRY
a sequence of chemical reactions undergone by a compound or class of compounds in a living organism.
noun: metabolic pathway "enzymes of the glycolytic pathway"
(sounds like a pretty good clue to me that there is some "enchaînement / cascade" somewhere in this story)
the basic idea of "pathway" in this ST is that the intended "tangible outcomes and contributions to macro-level impacts" will NOT happen directly from the proposed actions/changes but through a chain of successive impacts leading to the desired result - thus the need for a "diagram" showing what would be this "chain of causal impacts".
The diagram above lays out [the program’s theory of change] and causal impact pathways which demonstrate how the proposed interventions will lead to tangible outcomes [and contribute to macro-level impacts].

BTW, here is an interesting example of unexpected "pathways" in economics: "Freakonomics" a book by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven Levitt (just a sample: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion/ )

Discussion
Oui, mais.
Dans ce texte précis, le point important est que cette "relation de cause à effet" n'est pas directe.
Omettre cette distinction entre "effet direct" et "effet indirect" [résultant d'un enchaînement de causes et d'effets] déforme complément le sens du message - la raison d'être de ce diagramme est le fait que l'effet escompté / l'impact désiré est indirect. Ce n'est pas un détail mineur.
