4.1. Identification of Stakeholders

Stakeholders are those who have a direct interest in project development, and who will be involved in the consultative process. The first step in developing plans for consultation and participation is to identify the primary and secondary stakeholders.

Primary stakeholders include the people affected, the beneficiaries of the project, the host populations at any planned resettlement sites, and the implementing agency.

Secondary stakeholders are other individuals or groups with interest in the project, such as local or national government, policy makers, advocacy groups, elected officials, and NGOs.

Consultation and communication with stakeholders during the project preparation stage is an integral part of the process of gathering relevant data for impact assessment, and facilitates the development of appropriate options for the affected population. Affected people and beneficiary groups can influence and contribute to project design, planning and implementation.
