Box T5: Use of Venn Diagrams for Stakeholder Analysis Participants should firstly cut three sizes of circles – at least two sets of circles using different colored cards. One color is for ‘insider stakeholders’ and another is for ‘outsider stakeholders.’ For each ‘outsider stakeholder’, the participants need to decide how important the involvement of each stakeholder or stakeholder group is, or should be, in the project, and select the corresponding size of circle: • Little importance = smallest circle • Some or significant importance = middle sized circle • Very important = largest circle The name of the ‘insider’ stakeholder or stakeholder groups can then be written on the appropriate sized circles/cards. This should be repeated for all the ‘insider’ stakeholders using the other colored card. When all the stakeholders have been represented, the circles should be organized and stuck to a flipchart, grouping and placing the circles according to the relationships between the stakeholders: the closer is the relationship between two stakeholders, the closer should be the circles on the flipchart. The next stage is to cut three sizes of triangles from different colored cards. For each stakeholder (group), a small, medium or large triangle should be chosen to represent the degree of influence that the stakeholder has on the project. The triangle should then be stuck on the edge of the stakeholder circle. A stakeholder with a small ‘importance circle’ could have a large ‘influence triangle’ and vice versa. The overlap of the circles represents the extent of the relationship between stakeholders (see Figure 18). Once the diagram is complete, it should be reviewed by the wider group, which should continue to discuss the relative importance and influence of each stakeholder or stakeholder group until a consensus is reached.

A challenge is to decide an appropriate level of disaggregation: the greater the number of stakeholder groups or sub-groups, e.g., according to poverty grouping, gender, ethnic classification, etc., the greater is the complexity and cost of data collection and analysis. (e) Decide how best to involve people or stakeholder groups. It is advisable to draw up a stakeholder analysis participation matrix such as in Table T21. This indicates their likely level of involvement, and the project cycle stages they should be involved in. Key stakeholders with high levels of influence and importance for project success are potential project partners. Stakeholders with considerable influence, but a limited role in project achievement, may be involved through periodic consultations.
