What is a network?What is a network?
• A network is a collection of people and / or things that are connected to each other by some kind of relationship. • Many kinds of entities can be part of a network:

Advantages of network modelsAdvantages of network models
• Actor-oriented descriptions: • observable, understandable, verifiable
• Captures real-life complexity:• We are subject to multiple influences• We influence many others• And influence works both ways
• Multi-disciplinary experience with analysis of networks • Sociology, political science, psychology, biology,
physics, information technologies…

Today’s tasks…..Today’s tasks…..
1. Identify relevant actors & relationships2. Develop network diagrams for
• Your project now• Residual network 2 years after project
has finished
3. Identify key extension and political support linkages
4. Discuss implications
1. Identify actors & relationships 1. Identify actors & relationships important for your project nowimportant for your project now• Actor types identified in other workshops:
• International NGO; national NGO; local NGO• Community-based organization (CBO); • Farmers’ group;• University; • National agricultural research organization (NARO); • National agricultural extension organization; • Advanced Research Institute (ARI); • Network organization; • Other Govnt. Agency • CG Centre• Private Sector• Religious organizations• Local Govnt. Organizations• Media• CPWF (theme leader, basin coordinator, managing centre)• Federations and associations• Unregistered advocacy groups• Donor
• Identify the actors (Org’s and groups) that your project works with• Avoid overlapping categories
• Split them
• Actors should have relatively specific geographic location
• “Farmer groups in pilot sites in Isabela Province”, rather than “farmer groups in Northern Luzon”
Relationship TypesRelationship Types
1. Administration/ Coor
2. Provision of funding
3. Provision of information
4. Provision of pilot sites

6. Research (generally bi-directional)
7. Training / capacity building
8. Outreach of project outputs (scaling out)
9. Provision of / Lobbying for political support (scaling up)
2. Develop network diagram2. Develop network diagram
• Actors: • Use shape, size & colour and labels to
describe who is involved
• Relationships• Use thickness & colour to describe kinds• Use arrows to describe direction• Don’t use distance/length
Also Also construct construct
a a network network matrixmatrix(relationship is of row to column actor)
