System Mapping: A case example

Innovation Network has used system mapping in an evaluation for CARE, the international aid and relief organization.

CARE is currently engaged in a capacity-building effort to improve its internal systems—both globally and in the countries where CARE is located—for gathering, storing, and communicating information. The project is designed to lead to a more effective use of advocacy information and, ultimately, to improve CARE’s advocacy efforts targeting the United States government.
