Government agencies hold the greatest influence in the project due to their control over policy, funding, and implementation, while local communities particularly vulnerable groups benefit the most from improved safety, health, and living conditions. NGOs and researchers play supportive roles by facilitating community engagement, providing data, and informing evidence-based decisions, though their influence is moderate. Despite being central to project outcomes, local communities often have limited decision-making power, creating power imbalances and the risk of overlooked voices. Stakeholder power and influence were determined based on control over resources, decision-making authority, ability to shape outcomes, and level of stake in the project’s success.

I mostly agree with your stakeholder mapping. In my analysis, government agencies and donors also have the highest influence because they control policies, funding, and major decisions. I also agree that local communities benefit the most but have limited decision making power. One small difference is that I placed slightly more emphasis on NGOs as a bridge between communities and government. This shows that while power is centralized at higher levels, successful climate adaptation depends heavily on inclusive participation and strong coordination with local actors.
