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. The handbook defines what a network analysis is and describes how to utilize network analyses as an analytical tool. Further, it demonstrates how measuring and mapping an NGO network can help weave a more cohesive and productive NGO network through a case study, Understanding and Improving the Impact of Youth Conflidenct-Building Initiatives in the Samegrelo and Gali regions of Georgia. Specifically, it outlines (a) study design, (b) data collection tools and data collection, (c) creating a database, (d) drawing the network, (e) analyzing the network, and (f) plans to weave the network. Finally, the authors provide recommendations and conclusions for how to improve and facilitate NGO networks.
In this handbook, the focus will be on the visual mapping and its related concepts and much less on mathematically analysis.
