Stakeholder mapping
The stakeholder mapping shows that government agencies and project implementing organisations have high power and influence because they are involved in decision-making, policy, funding, and implementation. Local communities have high interest in the project because they are directly affected by climate change and benefit significantly from improved resilience, although they may have less formal power. NGOs and development organisations contribute through funding, technical expertise, community engagement, and implementation support, while researchers provide scientific knowledge and evidence for adaptation strategies.
The local communities are among the stakeholders that benefit most because the project aims to strengthen their resilience and livelihoods. However, there can be power imbalances because government agencies, donors, and implementing organisations may have greater decision-making power than local people. It is therefore important that community members, including vulnerable groups, are actively involved and that their local knowledge and concerns are considered.
I determined each stakeholder’s position based on their level of decision-making power, influence over project activities, level of interest, role in implementation, and the benefits they receive from the project.
