“…As a start, and as suggested by Partidário (2000Partidário ( , 2007, the words "strategic" and "assessment" in SEA are highlighted to stress the strategic nature of the approach. As well, to highlight the approach's flexibility and adaptability to the studied context, the word "environment" in SEA is left out and the word "network" is added, resulting in the beginning of the conceptualization and development of a "network strategic assessment approach".…”

“…In addition, it is considered that the role of SEA needs to become more dynamic to better understand decision making processes and to address the strategic dimensions of planning (Partidário, 2000;Nilsson and Dalkmann, 2001;Vicente and Partidário, 2006;Jiliberto, 2007). Partidário (2007), for instance, claims that SEA should aim at becoming a strategic focused instrument that effectively influences planning and decision-making processes. To do so, Partidário (1996) argues that SEA should assess the strategic components, objectives or principles that shape the visions that are put forth in planning and decision making.…”

“…To do so, Partidário (1996) argues that SEA should assess the strategic components, objectives or principles that shape the visions that are put forth in planning and decision making. Furthermore, Partidário (2000Partidário ( , 2007 stresses that for SEA to attain a stronger strategic focus, SEA should assess strategic actions in a sustainability impact assessment context and a lexicon for a "strategic" SEA should be developed. However, according to Vicente and Partidário (2006) in SEA practice there are many examples of technical EIA-based SEAs and a lack of SEAs that take a more strategic approach.…”

“…SEA is considered to be a tool that takes a strategic approach to improve planning and decision making (Partidário, 2000(Partidário, , 2007. SEA is also viewed as an instrument that has the potential to involve actors in strategic and complex decision making contexts (Sheate Azcárate and Balfors 69 and Partidário, 2010), and that enhances collaborative learning (Jha-Thakur et al, 2009).…”

As platforms for dialogue non-governmental organizations play an important role in facilitating the inclusion of a diversity of views in the debates and decisions that shape society. However, to successfully influence societal development non-governmental organizations need to develop and mobilize their capacities. This paper argues that organizational capacities can be developed and mobilized with strategic dialogues, which can be enabled and fostered with network strategic assessment approaches. Through a case study, research was carried out to draw experiences from designing a network strategic assessment approach in the context of a network-based nongovernmental organization that aims to strengthen the development of its members and communities. Even though conceptualizing the network strategic assessment approach was challenging, research results were participant engagement, process ownership and strategic dialogues. It is argued that by fostering strategic dialogues network strategic assessment approaches allow networks to synchronize and mainstream their strategic elements in the daily activities of their member organizations. Moreover, it is claimed that such approaches contribute to integrate aspects of capacity development with network planning and decision making, enhancing organizational understanding and performance.
