Please explain how you decided that the above organisations/ individuals are relevant stakeholders to your
project. Also, please discuss how your invitation methods seek to include a broad range of stakeholders.
We held two different Local Stakeholder Consultations: the first in Bokaso, South Region, which is a
representative region for the activities of the Solar Centers in rural Ethiopia. This first meeting was targeting
the rural households, which will be directly affected by our project activities (mainly local people and
regional official representatives of category A).
As Bokaso is located a 4 to 5 hours-drive away from the capital Addis Ababa, where most of the GOs and
NGOs are settled, we held a second Stakeholder Consultation directly in Addis Ababa, to reach a higher
presence of the Stakeholders of categories B to F.
Bokaso: We have invited 21 local Woreda Administrators and Kebele Chair persons, to which our project
activities have some relevance. 35 beneficiaries in the region, who got already some experience during the
pilot phase installations of solar home systems, were invited directly by handing over the letter, plus 11
people known to have no experience with Solar Energy Foundation and solar systems. We also tried
actively to engage women to join the consultation meeting. The invitation was provided to the public by
word of mouth with the effect that 88 people participated on top of the host organization Solar Energy
Foundation and myclimate. All these 88 external participants filled the project evaluation form, while 85
signed in the participation list and 83 filled the sustainable development matrix evaluation form.
