SuSanA Network Analysis Report Saffer, A. (2014)
The Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) seeks to create a space for NGOs (local and international), government agencies, private firms and research institutes to exchange information about sustainable sanitation practices. The partners in SuSanA are located around the world and depend on mediated communication channels to exchange ideas. The SuSanA online discussion forum is a primary space for partners to exchange and receive information about issues in the sanitation sector of development. This report presents the results of the network analysis of SuSanA partners. This analysis specifically studied the communication channels used and the quality of relationships among partners. The quality of relationships was assessed using measures of social capital. The report also provides four recommendations for strengthening the SuSanA network. The contents of this report provide a quantitative baseline of the sustainable sanitation sector as of May-June 2014. Future network studies can track progress toward enhanced network strength overtime.
