Experiences and Lessons Learned: Implementing the Organizational Network Analysis Method
Abstract: Public health organizations and projects can better understand their network and leverage the resources within it for the benefit of their clients by using the systematic approach known as Organizational Network Analysis (ONA). In ONA, networks can be represented by measures such as density (number of links among organizations as a proportion of all possible links), betweenness centrality (the roles that individual organizations and exchange relationships play within the larger network), reciprocity (the proportion of mutual ties), efficiency (the effectiveness of a network at distributing information and resources to all organizations), in-degree connections (e.g., referrals received) and out-degree connections (e.g., referrals sent).

This document shares Data for Impact’s (D4I) experiences and lessons learned in implementation of ONA in projects in Botswana and Nigeria.
