Text box: Steps in a stakeholder analysis process
  1. Define the purpose of the analysis.
  2. Generate a list of potential stakeholders (an initial list can be constructed by brainstorming relevant issues and further additions to the list can utilize a ‘snowball’ technique, during which stakeholders identify additional stakeholders).
  3. Collect necessary data (e.g. using interview guides and semi-structured questionnaires).
  4. Analyse and present data in matrices (i.e. type of stakeholder, levels of interest and influence, and the roles they will be or are playing in the implementation of the proposed intervention).
