Network theory \u00a0suggests a fluidity of connections that is not reflected in most GANs, which are, instead, institutionalized arrangements. We describe the case of \u00a0a GAN that was ad hoc and temporary. The network successfully produced several now widely used tools for ensuring data quality in systems \u00a0for monitoring and evaluating programs to reduce the spread of HIV. The ad hoc GAN reflected many of the typical characteristics of GANs, \u00a0but also exhibited some unique characteristics. Ad hoc GANs focusing on a particular task can be highly adaptive and efficient. We need to \u00a0learn and foster the circumstances that give rise to them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/ghg\/files\/2014\/06\/Fall-2013-Issue.pdf#page=83\"><button>Full Text<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Thomas, Karen Hardee, Andee Parks, David Boone, Win Brown, Sara Pacqu\u00e9e-Margolis, and Ronald Tran Ba Huy Development in global health is addressed by a complex array of institutions working as \u201cglobal action networks\u201d (GANs).
