Managing AFI Network Projects

Ways to Manage Projects With Multiple Sites

AFI Network projects involve multiple sites that provide IDAs and related services to individuals and families in large geographic areas. In this form of project, one organization receives an AFI grant and administers a multisite network in partnership with multiple subgrantees. Some of the most effective AFI projects conduct business this way.

This section provides an array of information on Network projects. The articles provide insight into the three primary models of Network projects and the tools for forging strong collaborations with partner organizations. Managers of new Network projects can adapt several tools and templates presented here to fit their needs.
