Comparison

Stakeholder Mapping Stakeholder Network Analysis

• Participatory methodology

• Help to develop strategies on how

to engage with partners

• Good strategy to screen

stakeholders to involve in the

workshop for RDS

• Requires good facilitation skills

• Less time intensive

• Quantitative-Qualitative analysis

• Understand the connections and

the characteristics of the network

• Survey can include specific data

about other topics, such as:

• Activities of each stakeholder

• Gender balance

• Priorities for water allocation

• Requires software skills

• More time intensive

Thank you very much!
