Global (Cross-Sectoral) Action Networks (GANs): Innovations with Five Strategic Aspirations: Being trulyGLOBAL - transcontinental and multi-level Enabling ACTION-learning and reflective-ACTION Building and leveraging cross-sectoral, multi-stakeholder NETWORKS Generating SYSTEMIC CHANGE through a range of boundary-crossing and diversity-embracing activities Realizing the PUBLIC GOOD 8 8
In Summary, GANs are: …global governance innovations optimizing: • democratic imperatives: • transparency • participation • accountability • market effectiveness: • adaptability • efficiency • scalability
Several dozen GANs—and growing… • Building Partnerships for Development in Water and Sanitation • Climate Group • Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative • Fair Labor Association • Forest Stewardship Council • Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition • Global Compact • Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria • Global Knowledge Partnership • Global Reporting Initiative • Global Water Partnership • Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict • International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development • Marine Stewardship Council • Microcredit Summit Campaign • Social Accountability International • The Access Initiative (TAI)/ Partnership for Principle 10 • Transparency International • Youth Employment Systems
Emergence of GANs • Type A Emergence – GANs created at birth • Type B Emergence – GANs by evolution • Functional view: GANs emerging to fill global governance gaps • Their unique capacities and legitimacy arise from combining different sectors (public, private, civil society) • Rationale for creation of new GANs • Supports arguments to support developing field of GANs – increased visibility of and sharing across GANs
GAN-Net’s Mission • …to increase the legitimacy and strengthen the capacity of multi-sector global networks to address urgent sustainability and security issues—social, economic, political and environmental
GAN-Net’s Goals • Accelerate the growth of GANs: scope of issues and worldwide presence • Increase the capacities and reduce the costs of developing effective GANs • Build the legitimacy of GANs through collective identity.
GAN-Net Activities • Advising • Implementing action-learning projects with individual GANs at critical development stages • Capacity Building • Convening subsets of GANs for sharing of innovations and good practices in Communities of Practice (CoPs) • Field-Building • Increasing support and legitimacy of all GANs through broad stakeholder engagement and inter-GAN collaboration
GAN-Net Strategic Activities Capacity-Building and Field Building • Supporting individual GANs at critical junctures • Fostering joint learning and innovation through CoPs • Increasing the support and legitimacy of GANs and the GAN strategy
