NGO Network Analysis Handbook: how to measure and map linkages between NGOs

Abstract

The goal of this handbook is to help NGO staff, and particularly, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) staff to move beyond using network as a metaphor and understand how to measure and map them. More specifically, this handbook is designed to help NGO staff accomplish the following objectives: a) understand what network analysis is, b) how are network data collected, c) how to create visual maps of the network, and d) how to analyze the network data for program/project development or evaluation.
