Organizational landscape, linkages, and influence level of key actors in the agriculture policymaking process in DRC. Net-Map interviews with a high-level official of the ministry of agriculture, CARG representatives, and a staff member of an international organization who has worked in DRC for several years. Note: These Net-Maps were complemented by interviews with several key actors in the agricultural sector. Note: The structure and placement of the actors in the figure do not represent political ranking or authority. The purpose is to inventory the different actors involved in the agricultural policy process at the national and local levels; to illustrate linkages among different actors; and to identify who has influence in the actual agricultural policies being designed, funded, and implemented. The numbers in circles represent the influence level (measured on a 0–6 scale) of these different actors, with darker circles for the national-level actors and lighter circles for the local level. The lines connecting key actors represent the extent of linkages and information flow between the actors (solid lines represent strong linkages while broken lines represent weak linkages). Organizations without an influence score were given a zero score by respondents.
