STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS EXERCISE 2.2. Identify stakeholders’ interests, impact level and relative priority Once stakeholders have been identified, the following step is to categorise them. The stakeholders are listed in a Table which determines the following: their main interest, their degree of impact/influence on the project and their relative priority. It is during this stage that field work should be done through interviews to privileged informants or at round tables. This technique allows information to be included that is had directly from the identified stakeholders regarding their interests and the relative position they consider they occupy. Stakeholders should also be asked about their interests during each of the developmental stages of the future envisaged project. This classification should also be done independently by the members of the first meeting (who drew up the diagram) in order to contrast information. It should be borne in mind that Stakeholders’ interests come from an emic angle, that is, from their own pointof-view and in keeping with their own interests. It is essential to detect stakeholders’ main interests through formal questions, such as: • What expectations to you have of the project? • What benefits would the project provide you with? • Which Stakeholder do you believe will be in conflict with the project’s interests? • Do the Stakeholders have opposing interests? Once the main interests have been identified through field work, the initial work team will assign the project’s possible impact on each of the stakeholders. A simple annotation will be used for this: � favourable impact (+) � unfavourable (-) � unknown impact (?) � high impact (H) � medium impact (M) � low impact (L) � uncertain impact (?) Table 2 provides an example of how information should be gathered at think tank meetings. Post-It notes or similar can be used while the information is being discussed at brainstorming sessions. 10

Stakeholder interest and impact table As can be seen in Table 2, this stage allows a first classification to be made of Stakeholders, with a distinction being made between primary and secondary stakeholders. The following box contains a checklist of questions for selecting stakeholders: Box 1. Checklist for identifying stakeholders • have all primary and secondary stakeholders been listed? • have all potential supporters and opponents of the project been identified? • have primary stakeholders been divided into user/occupational groups, or income groups? • are there any new primary or secondary stakeholders that are likely to emerge as a result of the project?
