1
Stakeholder Analysis in the Caspian and Caucasus
  • Mary M. Matthews, Ph.D.
  • Innovatia Consulting, Inc.

2
Overview of questions
  • What is a Stakeholder Analysis?
  • What methodology is used?
  • What difficulties were encountered?
  • What solutions were found?
  • What is the usefulness of the analysis?
  • What are the advantages for IWRM?
  • What are the lessons learned from the Caspian
    Environment Programme?
  • Stakeholder Analysis revisited

3
What is Stakeholder Analysis?
  • Who are stakeholders?
  • Anyone with an interest, a stake in the
    conditions being addressed by the project
  • Including anyone impacted by and impacting these
    conditions
  • What is the objective of the SHA?
  • To identify the stakeholder groups
  • To gauge their perceptions, interests and
    priorities
  • To identify areas of tension between groups

4
What methodology is used?
  • Literature review
  • Qualitative/ground truthing
  • Survey development and administration
  • Database creation
  • Statistical analysis, using mean and standard
    deviation among SHGs
  • Identify areas of conflict between SHGs
  • Make suggestions for overcoming
    conflicts/tensions both active and emergent
  • Compare over time, using same questions

5
Difficulties encountered?Solutions found?
  • Lack of responsiveness from some sectors
  • Not enough surveys to be statistically valid by
    social science criteria
  1. More aggressive survey distribution, personal
    appeals with assurance of confidentiality
  2. Unfortunate, but due to low budgets unavoidable.
    Remember there is room for error, but this is
    better than nothing and can be quite informative.
  • Subsequent projects include mechanisms for
    stakeholder input throughout the TDA/SAP process
    span to provide feedback to the project through
    Stakeholder Advisory Groups
  • (Create venues for stakeholder communications)

6
Usefulness of Analysis?
  • Can identify the actual concerns among
    stakeholders
  • Can provide a check on the experts in terms of
    top priority problems and perceptions
  • Can allow projects to take steps to avoid future
    problems with the creation of win-win solutions
  • CEP Example

Advantages for IWRM?
  • Provides a systematic view of complex issues with
    multiple stakeholder groups
  • Allows solutions to be devised that focus on the
    high priority concerns of those impacting and
    impacted by IWRM
  • Provides a baseline of analysis for future
    impacts of project, and informs how effectively
    the project is reaching its objectives

9
Lessons Learned for Caspian Environment Programme
  • Importance of inclusion of multiple stakeholder
    input in TDA processes and project direction
    through SAP
  • Ability to monitor trends over project timeframe
  • Ability to gauge where public participation and
    stakeholder involvement is useful and
    appropriate, and is having an impact
  • Provides feedback and direction for the
    development of the public participation strategy
  • Serves as a case study for future projects in the
    region

10
Stakeholder Analysis Revisited
  • Can assist in the identification of involved
    groups
  • Can assist in the identification of potential
    areas of conflict and suggest measures to avoid
    these conflicts for better programme
    effectiveness
  • Provides a baseline of social data for future
    comparison, and project adjustment as needed
