The social group may bebased on age, sex, occupation, socio-economic status, and other factors.Network: A social structure made up of individuals (or organizations) called ‘nodes’, which are tied(connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, common interest,financial exchange, dislike, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige.22.3 Need for a Peer NetworkTo share acquired knowledge and experience among peers (ERs at all the three PRI levels) for capacitydevelopment and replication of best practices for the development of PRIs.22.3.1 Benefits of a Peer Network• Horizontal learning: A peer network will allow for horizontal learning, that is, learning across eachof the PR tiers. Such networks will help in sharing best practices, knowledge, experiences of eachof the peers, which will help optimize the use of resources, and doing the best planning possible fordevelopment.• Replication of best practices: Best solutions for certain problems can be identified and replicated withminimum efforts.• Strengthening of interpersonal communication: Members of different districts, blocks, and villagescan get a chance to meet regularly during meetings, which will strengthen social relationships andinterpersonal communication.22.4 Peer Network Development Strategy for PRIs22.4.1 Model of a Peer NetworkIn the context of developing PRIs, the peer network development strategy is given in Figure 18.138 Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Government of India
