Stakeholders
are defined as individuals and organisations who are actively
involved in a project, or whose interests may be positively
or negatively affected as a result of project execution or
successful project completion.
Stakeholder
analysis refers to a range of methods for mapping and understanding
the power, positions, and perspectives of the stakeholders
who have an interest in, and/or are likely to be affected
by, a particular initiative. It can be applied to different
contexts, within projects, programmes and policy reform.
There
are many different techniques which can be used (see guides
below). The basic steps in all stakeholder analysis are:
1. Identify the key stakeholders and their interests in the
activity
2. Assess the influence and importance of each of these stakeholders
in the activity
