Deep Dive into Stakeholder Mapping
This session introduces the various types of private sector actors present in a landscape, and how to complete stakeholder mapping and analyse potential connections and engagement/investment opportunities.

This is an excerpt from the second of 5 activities that formed the Private Finance Learning Challenge, hosted by the UN FAO’s Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism team and the Landscape Finance Lab, which ran from Feb-March 2023.

--

This session introduces the practice of stakeholder identification and mapping, and why it is important. Florian Vernaz, Landscape Lead at the Lab gives an overview of the types of mapping that can be conducted i.e. stakeholder mapping, power analysis, supply-chain mapping, and how to do this using simple spreadsheet tools which can be modified and expanded upon according to different contexts. The session also looks at a number of case studies where identification and mapping of private sector interests in a landscape led to positive engagement and new sources of sustainable finance for restoration activities.
