Stakeholder Analysis for Development

Stakeholder analysis in development is a structured method for identifying the actors with a stake in an intervention and characterising their interests, power, and influence, so that programmes can be designed and implemented with a clear view of whom they affect and who can affect them. Drawing on the natural-resource-management tradition of Robin Grimble and Kate Wellard and the methodological typology of Mark Reed and colleagues, it employs tools such as the power-interest grid, the influence-importance matrix, and Venn diagrams to make the social landscape of a project explicit.
