Deadline: 25 September 2017
The United States Agency for International Development/Bosnia and Herzegovina (USAID/BiH) is inviting qualified local service providers and individuals with research capacity to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) in the area of social network analysis with an aim to facilitate new approaches that first understand the existing networks that are naturally occurring and then use those to better address the complex challenges facing the country.
Social network analysis is a methodology used for mapping relationships among individuals and/or organizations, and measuringthe nature and strength of those relationships. These identified relationships are then mapped using hubs to denote those individuals or entities that are the connectors in a specific community or system. Network analysis can be useful for identifying resources in communities and the natural connections that exist among individuals and entities.
USAID is interested in undertaking a series of network analyses over the next year in order to have a better understanding of networks of organizations and actors in BiH. These upcoming network analyses are intended to yield insights for USAID and local actors on how to more strategically and systematically engage in relationships with other actors and resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Eligibility Criteria
USAID interested to hear from local service providers (association of citizens, foundations, private businesses, academic institutions, professional associations or any similar legal entity registered in BiH and not owned or controlled by any foreign entity or individual) or individuals (researchers, professors, students, etc. who are BiH residents) who
- have knowledge and experience in undertaking network analysis; and
- interest in engaging with USAID in the process of carrying out network analyses for BiH.
