Stakeholder analysis identifies people, groups and organizations that may be affected by the policy reform or that may affect the reform. Identifying and disaggregating the first type of stakeholders - and distinguishing between those who are affected positively by the reform and those who are affected negatively - is central to PSIA. Analyzing stakeholders who may affect the reform (organized groups such as unions, business associations or NGOs) is also critical to understanding the likely support or opposition of various groups to the reform. Stakeholder analysis can also serve as an input to economic modeling work by determining how best to disaggregate representative household groups or subgroups. Analyzing influential actors is essential to understand behavioral responses that condition impacts, and the likelihood of reform success. Back to Tools and Methods for PSIA |
