ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 39<br />
6.2.4.1 The stakeholders<br />
The identification of possible stakeholders took place by widespread inquiries via internet search, e-mail<br />
and telephone and a survey among ATEAM partners and colleagues. A vast database of potentially<br />
interested parties was created. To date 203 stakeholders have been identified, 152 were approached<br />
and invited to our activities and 58 24 were involved in at least one activity. The full ATEAM stakeholder<br />
database is located in Annex 4. Initially to facilitate the selection process a matrix was designed with<br />
relevant sectors vs. geographical focuses/scales and organisation type. The aim was to systematically<br />
produce a sample/database of stakeholders to contact and hopefully involve during the course of the<br />
project.<br />
In preparation of the stakeholder involvement the ATEAM approach was structured into sectors and<br />
preliminary vulnerability indicators were identified as basis <strong>for</strong> the discussion between stakeholders and<br />
scientists. ATEAM targeted in particular sector and corporation representatives and consultants, policy<br />
advisers, environmental resource/park managers, farmers/<strong>for</strong>esters, NGOs, journalists and academics.<br />
Table 11 below illustrates the type of stakeholder organisations ATEAM involved.<br />
24 This number does not takes into consideration: 1) stakeholders involved during other dissemination and outreach activities<br />
carried out within the ATEAM project and reported upon annually, and 2) the stakeholder networks developed within other<br />
projects or institutes mentioned in the report and within the activities of which ATEAMers participated.
