From these can be generated questions for decisions in monitoring and evaluation within complex actor settings as well as criteria for concepts of evaluation and monitoring in a networking context. On this basis, four dimensions of network evaluation and monitoring are suggested and they are embedded in the multi-dimensional design approach of the “learning network” which puts collective competence development and future- and effect-orientation at the center of the developmental process
