Tool 4: Stakeholder analysis

Information collected on the parties involved helps to evaluate the partnering possibilities of the stakeholders at the national and sub-national levels, considering their capacities, roles and needs. This tool also facilitates dialogue with different stakeholders from the public, private and civil society sectors to establish the scope of reintegration programmes.

When should this tool be used?

This tool must be used during the diagnostic or design phases. It supplements the analysis carried out in Tool 1: Situation Analysis, and Tool 5: Consistency and Coordination.

How should this tool be used?

To delve deeper into these steps, see the IOM 2020, Reintegration Handbook:

An integrated approach to reintegration, Table 1.2: Conducting a stakeholder mapping for reintegration programs implementation.
Annex 6. Stakeholder mapping matrix.

Identifying and analyzing stakeholders

Users can review the questions in this tool to explore the different stakeholder groups that could participate in an intervention and how they could do so. The questions provide a starting point for collecting information on whether stakeholders could:

Provide context information based on their experience during the diagnostic or design phase (i.e. stakeholders to be consulted);
Become intervention partners and/or implementers that can support outcome achievement (i.e. stakeholders who could be a delivery partner), and/or;
Be (direct or indirect) intervention beneficiaries depending on their needs.
