Stakeholder Analysis: An Important
Tool for Participatory Projects
Stakeholder Analysis. This is employed to gather
information about the important actors in a
community. This is used to develop strategies,
implement activities, and understand the context and
feasibility of a proposed community project.

Steps in Conducting a Stakeholder
Analysis
1. Identify the key stakeholders and their interests.
 Who has more to lose? Who are threatened?
 What resources are at stake? Who are most
dependent on these resources?
 Who has claims over the project or the resources,
either legally or by unwritten rules?
 Who has the most knowledge about the project or the
resources?
 Who will be affected?

Analysis
2. Assess the influence and importance of each stakeholder.
 Who makes the decisions on important issues?
 Who holds positions?
 Who is influential?
 Who will promote or support the project?
 Who may obstruct or hinder the project?
 Who has been involved in the past?
 Who should be more involved this time?

Analysis
3. Identify how best to engage all stakeholders.
Depending on the stakeholders’ involvement, a group

may be consulted, involved in a dialogue, provided
information, or involved in the actual work.

Participatory Appraisal Techniques
• Participatory appraisal techniques can be

utilized for assessment activities, program design,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The
community members themselves analyze the
situation, design projects, and implement activities.
WWW.REX.COM.PH
Four Essential Tools in
Participatory Appraisal
1. Mapping – beneficial in plotting location and
pathways of resources
2. Ranking – usually employed in prioritizing

problems to be addressed and projects to be
implemented

3. Diagramming – shows the relationships between
two or more concerned people or groups, just like in a

4. Discussion – useful in gathering qualitative data

from different sectors like women, farmers, and
barangay leaders, among others
