GANs: Innovations OrganizedAround Five Strategic Orientations
1. Being truly global and multi-level
2. Implementing interdisciplinary action-learning and reflective action
3. Building enduring yet nimble multi-stakeholder and cross sectoral, inter-organizational networks
4. Generating systemic change through a range of non-violent, boundary-crossing and diversity-embracing activities
5. Realizing the public good
10
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

Development Stages of GANs
Genesis Initiation Expansion Transformation
Visioning MappingConveningLeadershipand Stakeholders
Defining the purpose
Piloting core technical
solutionsEstablishing
initial centralized network structures
Deepening understanding of the purpose
Broadening application of core technical solutions and innovating novel social solutions
Increasing network membership and decentralizing network structures
Redirecting the system and altering core relationships
Enhancing legitimacy and public value
Building enduring social trust
Establishing inter-GAN connections

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
15
GAN-Net’s Goals
1. Accelerate the growth of GANs: scope of issues and worldwide presence
2. Increase the capacities and reduce the costs of developing effective GANs
3. Build the legitimacy of GANs through collective identity.
GAN-Net Activities
1. Advising Implementing action-learning projects with individual
GANs at critical development stages2. Capacity Building
Convening subsets of GANs for sharing of innovations and good practices in Communities of Practice (CoPs)
3. Field-Building Increasing support and legitimacy of all GANs
through broad stakeholder engagement and inter-GAN collaboration
17
GAN-Net Strategic Activities Capacity-Building and Field Building
1. Supporting individual GANs at critical junctures
2. Fostering joint learning and innovation through CoPs
3. Increasing the support and legitimacy of GANs and the GAN strategy
