One of the most effective strategies for stakeholder identification and mapping is the use of stakeholder mapping matrices, such as power–interest or power–influence grids. These tools help visualize who has decision-making power, who is most affected by the project, and who needs to be closely engaged, informed, or monitored. Combining these tools with context analysis and local knowledge is essential, especially in climate resilience projects, where informal actors, community leaders, and marginalized groups may not hold formal power but have high social influence.
