Partner and Relations Mapping

Objective: To map stakeholders and partners pertinent for the programs' impact groups.

Participants: Program design team.


 

Steps

The P-Bouge team began by collectively listing stakeholders and partners pertinent to each impact group. This list was then used to inform and map out key stakeholders. For this mapping, the P-Bouge team split into two groups (one per impact group). In groups, the team:

  • Reviewed the list of partners and stakeholders and developed a list of potential partners for the impact group
  • Aligned partners and stakeholders to each domain of change and specified the type of contribution they could provide.

To help teams to systematically discuss diverse stakeholders at multiple levels, the team discussed various types of stakeholders:

  • Intergovernmental organizations (UN, WHO, World Bank, etc.)
  • Government institutions (at the colline, commune, provincial and national levels)
  • Donors/Foundations
  • Non-governmental organizations (community-based → national → international)
  • Other private institutions (business, etc.)

The guidelines for this exercises provided the following table:
