The Stakeholder Network Analysis (SNA) project uses social network analysis to address complex, interconnected environmental challenges. Recognizing that social networks play a vital role in mobilizing resources, shaping governance, and fostering collaboration, this project applies SNA across the Wyss Academy’s Solutionscapes to engage stakeholders and drive systemic transformation that benefits both nature and people. 

By mapping both formal and informal interactions, SNA provides a unique lens for understanding relationships and power dynamics within these networks. The project identifies key influencers and intermediaries essential for coalition-building, uncovers marginalized actors who are often overlooked but are critical for equitable governance, and highlights opportunities for reconfiguring networks to facilitate lasting change.

These insights support strategic interventions by strengthening collaboration among aligned but less influential stakeholders, creating more balanced network dynamics. Additionally, the project tracks the evolution of stakeholder relationships and assesses the impact of interventions, ensuring continuous progress toward the goal of systemic transformation.
