This guide focuses on connecting, engaging, and convening stakeholders to nurture network stewards and leaders. It covers defining network value propositions, knowing and mapping the network, organizing it, articulating theories of change, and establishing structures and shared norms. It also addresses piloting strategies, evaluating effectiveness, and transforming or transitioning networks. Growing the network involves diversifying participation, building trust, decentralizing functions, and adapting strategies. Monitoring, learning, and continuous improvement are essential.
