Explanation:
Counterpart International would like to acknowledge and thank all who were involved
in the creation of Social Networking: A Guide to Strengthening Civil Society through
Social Media.
This guide is a result of collaboration and input from a great team and group of advisors.
Our deepest appreciation to Tina Yesayan, primary author of the guide; and Kulsoom
Rizvi, who created a dynamic visual layout. Alex Sardar and Ray Short provided
guidance and sound technical expertise, for which we’re grateful.
The Civil Society and Media Team at the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID) was the ideal partner in the process of co-creating this guide, which benefited
immensely from that team’s insights and thoughtful contributions.
The case studies in the annexes of this guide speak to the capacity and vision of the
featured civil society organizations and their leaders, whose work and commitment is
inspiring.
This guide was produced with funding under the Global Civil Society Leader with
Associates Award, a Cooperative Agreement funded by USAID for the implementation
of civil society, media development and program design and learning activities around the
world.
Counterpart International’s mission is to partner with local organizations - formal and
informal - to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. We
hope this manual will be an essential tool for civil society organizations to more effectively
and purposefully pursue their missions in service of their communities.
