The document discusses the challenges of network-based development. It argues that networks emerge strongly due to their ability to access resources outside markets and bureaucracies. However, network development is difficult as it requires consensus on priorities, roles, and steering. The document outlines challenges around collaboration and proposes that effective networks require unifying strategies, a collaborative culture, and competent shared leadership with broad legitimacy.
Ethiopian Pastoral Research and Devlopment network by daniel temesgenDaniel Temesgen
The Ethiopian Pastoral Research and Development Network (EPRDN) which is currently hosted by Haramaya University was established under the terms and conditions stated in Memorandum of Understanding which was signed by the different universities; pastoral research institutes and
development partners on October 25th , 2011 at Dire Dawa University. The Network was established with the aim of building and enhancing the capacity of stakeholders adapt and respond to emerging issues; changing circumstances and challenges; mobilizing and sharing resources among member organizations for coordinated research and development in pastoral areas; facilitating exchange of knowledge, skills and information on regular basis; creating a platform for designing and implementing training programs in pastoral development and support the process of pastoral- oriented curriculum development; and facilitate dissemination of technology packages and provide consultation and evidence based advice to end users.

Researching Networks and Collaboration – reflections of a novice Tarry Asoka
Networks have become the flavour of our time as ‘wicked problems’ (large, messy, complex and systemic) require multi-stakeholder actors to work together to find a common solution. But how feasible are networks within the institutional contexts they are expected to function? An attempt to answer this question led one into an array of perspectives not only of networks but also about collaboration, which is seen as the ‘very essence’ of networks. Meanwhile, a developing insight is that to be successful, networks will have to be context specific, but useful learning can come from elsewhere where network implementation is advanced – since core elements of collaboration such as trust, social capital, reciprocity are human nature.
This document by Eelke Wielinga describes the FAN (Free Actor Network) approach and practical tools to promote effective networks where traditional planning is balanced with the energies, incentives and dreams of the members. Mr Wielinga was one of the speakers of the Systemic M&E webinar (Innovations in Measuring Impacts in Market and Financial Systems: rethinking the current paradigm). This webinar was organised by SEEP's MaFI in October 2012 and hosted in collaboration with USAID's Microlinks and FHI360.

Information Services: Breaking down Departmental SilosAlbert Simard
Describes elemental social networking concepts on a base of content management and knowledge services, focusing on interactions among government agencies.
Power no longer resides exclusively (if at all) in states, institutions, or large corporations. It is located in the networks that structure society. Social network analysis seeks to understand networks and their participants and has two main focuses: the actors and the relationships between them in a specific social context.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

15. Typology of collaborative network patterns that produces consensus Type Description Collaborative pattern A Agreements based on negotiations and strategic interactions. Related to a specific issues or phases. Not necessarily manifested into a repeating relational pattern. B Interactions based on a relational understanding of other actors and institutions. Related to a specific collaborative arenas. The relational patterns (norms) are not necessarily transferable to other arenas or spheres. C Joint action based on a shared understandings and beliefs. Related to specific contextual circumstances. The dominant narrative (discursive framework) is difficult to change/adept to new circumstances. A +B Networks organised around a specific subject matter or development issue. Relatively robust collaborative patterns are likely to emerge. Doesn't necessarily transcend institutional boundaries or spheres. A +C Transactions between actors/institutions from different contexts (visitors) that recognise shared beliefs, values, norms. Situational and not necessarily rooted in a deeper relational understanding of the other. B +C An ceremonial type of interaction that repeats itself and could transcend specific contexts. An ineffective but robust (repeating) collaborative pattern. A +B +C Actors committed to collaborating on a broader range of issues that transcends specific arenas, institutional interest or contexts. The most resilient collaborative pattern, the critical issue is the inherent quality of the development narrative.
