Stephen Ndegwa, AFTPR Simplified Stakeholder Analysis A Demonstration
Goals • Simpler, user-friendly and portable • Transparent calculations and assumptions • Scenario building over prediction • Accessible charts and grids as guides for potential options/targets for policy dialogue
Data Collection • As with other models, extensive and reliant on field interviews • Depending on government or policy area openness, data can be collected by two methods: • Interviews with specialists or experts and/or • Interviews with actual stakeholders
Data Attributes *Annex 1: New Effective Power equation
Policy Continuum B (#) = Effective Power
Effective Power/Position MatrixIdentifies stakeholder position and their relative power -- how hard reform will be With simple rule -- movement within quadrant/subset -- allows setting goals to influence
Scenarios: Governing Assumptions • Stakeholders can only move within their policy preference sector, or minimally into next one • Strategy may then be to: • Move stakeholders with low policy reform preferences to the right or diagonally upwards by increasing information • Empower stakeholders with higher policy reform preferences to move up and to the right by increasing effective power
Influence-Salience MatrixIdentifies the stakeholders by their level of salience and influence (color-coded on policy reform preference)Information on stakeholder attributes allows setting intervention strategy and coalition building
Specific Examples in response to influence-salience profile of opponents • Promoters - counter or compromise • Defenders - suppress potential action • Latents – Increase salience • Apathetics - Ignore
Specific Examples in response to influence-salience profile of proponents • Promoters - Build coalitions with low preference stakeholders-common interests • Defenders - Provide resources to promote position • Latents - Provide information and incentives to increase saliency and preference for reform • Apathetics – Ignore
New Policy Continuum B (#) = Effective Power
Improvements/Simplifications • Adds detailed stakeholder “reservation price” to policy continuum • Clarifies “effective power” equation • Focuses on creating scenarios in lieu of predictions to promote policy • Uses maps to identify and assess stakeholder positions and potential movement for dialogue and goal-setting
Conclusion • Simpler model • Portable, cost effective • Excel-based • WB team executed (data/scenarios/dialogue) • Transparent assumptions • Informed by Task team – country/issue knowledge • Theoretically valid, methodologically reliable • Organic scenarios over precise/debatable predictions
Annex 1: Effective Power Equation (.70)*I + (.30)*S = Effective Power • Effective Power is the weighted sum of 70% Influence and 30% Salience • Influence is weighted more than Salience because those with higher influence have a higher ability to block reform • E.g. A stakeholder with 80 (I) and 20 (S) has more power to veto a policy than a stakeholder with 20 (I) and 80 (S)
