Publication year: 
1999

This article discusses how the new participatory approach of social network analysis (SNA) can be used to understand social capital (the quality of relationships among and between people). It also describes how strong social networks and capital can influence policy at the local level. Drawing from a case study in Nepal, it illustrates the use of SNA as a potential tool for participatory monitoring and evaluation.
