Stakeholder analysis in project planning: origins, applications and refinements of the method

Abstract

Stakeholder topics are one of the main ideas in development thinking that have been introduced in recent years. Based on methods for stakeholder analysis given by the Overseas Development Administration and Team UP software, a combined method was used to analyse two projects, one in India the other in Nigeria. The results are discussed and a revised method for stakeholder analysis is proposed.
