SRP Stakeholder analysis
In the SRP project, government agencies and local communities have the most influence as they determine the success of the project. Local communities guide the project by bringing forward the local perspectives and knowledge in addressing the climate challenges and the government set regulations and policies guiding the project management cycles. Donors have level of influence through financial decision making affect the project successful implementation.
While the local communities mainly benefit from the project outcomes, the government indirectly benefits as well as community resilience and ecosystem restoration means strengthened systems thus leading to sustainable development.
What was each stakeholder’s role, potential benefits, and level of influence within the project?
Researchers generate knowledge and guide evidence based decision making support the project implementors, the donors and the government to adjust the project based on the evidence generated through research.
The power imbalance exist due to lack of collaboration among stakeholders and failure to integrate local knowledge with scientific and modern knowledge. The local communities end up having no influence in how their perspectives are integrated in the project.
The power and influence is determined by critically analyzing the role of each stakeholder and their ability to make any necessary changes to the project outcome.
