Responsibilities: Design and implementation of network analysis on existing monitoring and evaluation data to support analysis of key program questions. The project also analyzed AWARD’s theory of change to identify opportunities to use network analysis as an integral component of AWARD’s M&E methods portfolio post-2017, and provided a recommended plan for how to carry out this integration.
