The first step in the
process of stakeholder engagement is stakeholder identification, determining
who the project stakeholders are, and their key groupings. From this flows
stakeholder analysis, a more
in-depth look at stakeholder group interests and how they will be affected, and
what influence they could have on an intervention.
In a bid to understand its stakeholders,
the Support Program for Refugee Settlements in Northern Uganda (SPRS-NU) under the European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) successfully started the process
through a segmentation workshop
conducted at Heritage Courts Hotel in Arua district of Northern Uganda.
The EUTF SPRS-NU stakeholder
segmentation will enable effective and
efficient engagement with the various target audiences as part of the
visibility and communications efforts.
Among the participants of the workshop,
were Arua Local Council (LC) 5 vice chairperson, Refugee Desk Office (RDO), Implementing
partners from the Danish Refugee Council, Austrian Development Agency implementers
- WDSF-Northern, ZOA, CEFORD, Save the Children and Belgium Development Agency.
