Stakeholder Engagement for Integrated Water Resource Management

Stakeholder engagement for Integrated Water Resource Management toolkit has been developed to provide key resources and tools that is hoped will help users gain a better idea about why it is necessary engage or bond with stakeholders, how to carry put a stakeholder analysis and how this can help you develop an engagement strategy. Stakeholder engagement is a process and it starts off with the identification of the relevant stakeholders, followed by an analysis of what the attitudes of these stakeholders are towards the project and how influential they may be. Once this analysis is done, the consultation process can start, where by the stakeholders are brought into the fold and collaboration takes place. The last stage is to manage the identified stakeholders by keeping open channels of communications with continuous monitoring of attitudes and ensuring conflicts are foreseen and managed.

This information can be found in the sections “Stakeholder Analysis” and “Why and How to engage” below.

Stakeholder AnalysisStakeholder analysis involves the identification of the stakeholders that will most likely be impacted by the Project. This is a very important component of stakeholder engagement and is the first step towards gaining the stakeholders cooperation in implementing the Project. It is better to have the stakeholders in the fold then stand against the project just because they felt left out. An inclusive project is better then and exclusive project. The following resource will help the user catch a better picture of what stakeholder analysis and what processes it involves.
