Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governments, and businesses increasingly aim to form networks to address issues such as hunger, poverty, disease, and environmental degradation. Interorganizational networks enable constituencies to transcend some limitations and work toward common goals.This research combines social network analysis methods with intensive assessment to (a) produce a reliable and valid measure of NGO capacity, and (b) test the common presumption that an NGO's capacity to address problems of disease and development is dependent on its local network of relationships with other NGOs, businesses, and government organizations.The results of this study will include an important new outcome measure for NGO research. In addition, this project will identify the types of collaboration associated with increasing an NGO's scope of services, leadership strength, human resource capacity, financial stability, and research and advocacy capacity. This should have practical implications for better management of NGOs in context.

非政府组织（ngo）、政府和企业日益致力于形成网络，以解决诸如饥饿、贫困、疾病和环境退化等问题。组织间网络使支持者能够超越某些限制，朝着共同的目标努力。本研究将社会网络分析方法与密集评估相结合，以(a)产生一个可靠而有效的非政府组织能力衡量标准，(b)验证一个普遍的假设，即非政府组织解决疾病和发展问题的能力取决于其与其他非政府组织、企业和政府组织的当地关系网络。这一研究结果将为NGO研究提供一个重要的新成果衡量标准。此外，该项目将确定与增加非政府组织的服务范围、领导能力、人力资源能力、财务稳定性以及研究和倡导能力相关的合作类型。这应该对更好地管理非政府组织具有实际意义。
