Defining the concept of "stakeholder"

Stakeholders are those involved in and/or affected (negatively or positively) by the outcome and the impact of an action, project, programme.

(See also definition of  stakeholder in the Manual).

In this Wiki we list two main cathegories Internal of Stakeholders: Partners and Contributors.

Normally we can classify the stakeholders into two brad cathegories:

• internal stakeholders, i.e.  persons "who do the work", i.e. the members of the project team;
• external stakeholders, the "others" who so not work directly, but get affected by the results of the work, i.e. those who pay for the project (the sponsors),  those who receive the project outputs (the beneficiaries), and all the others involved in and/or affected (negatively or positively) by the outcome and the impact of an action, project, programme.

In Eugad this defferentiation loses rigidity. The Eugad approach is to involve the target groups as partners in designing and implementing the activities.  (more details in Eugad networking).  Project partners (the Organizations that contribute and support EUGAD) and Project contributors (the persons who did the job or helped out)  belong to the same groups "opinion makers": educators, media professionals, local authorities, development actors.

However in order to avoid remaining too vague and general, the project has identifed a specific Beneficiaries to be addressed primarely and a secondary target Beneficiaries gruop to be reached from the "ripping effect" of the project expected impact.

The primary target Beneficiaries of  Eugad activites are:

1. 80 (20 from each target county) opinion makers (educationists, journalists and policy makers at non-State level governments) participating in the 4 network building workshops (in Italy Belgium, Bulgaria, Romania);
2. The associations of stakeholders (opinion makers and development actors) in target countries that will be involved in the networking activities. This will include: associations of LAs, media enterprises, educators, NGOs and other NSAs that have an interest in promoting international development cooperation and the implementation of international agendas for fighting poverty;
3. 100 educationists, journalists and policy makers at non-State level (65 from Bulgaria and 35 from Romania) who will work together with partners in developing the portal and will be trained in the utilisation of the 3 manuals prepared.

The secondary target Beneficiaries are those who will benefit from knowledge resources, information tools and media products collected and produced.

1. the opinion makers of target countries who will benefit from the manuals and other resources made available through the Action web site and promoted through the networking and dissemination activities,
2. the EU public reached directly through the distribution of the media products of this Action (TV documentaries broadcast in Italy, Belgium Bulgaria, Romania, partner and other EU countries; manuals; web portal); and reached indirectly as impact of this action.

Role and participation of actors and stakeholders.

EUGAD partnership is based on the complementarity of the experience and expertise of each partner.

Armadilla as project leader, has the duty to provide an enabling environment for the specific professional competences and experiences of the various partners and integrate them in a synergic process.

Action partners belong to the same categories of the stakeholders of the primary target group and they mobilise their network of alliances in the processes of selection of those who will participate to the networking and capacity building activities.

Eugad Partners can be subdivided into 4 main categories

1. output producing or leading partners (Armadilla and Kautilya Society) with experience in international development cooperation and education for development) who are the main responsible for producing the outputs, after a process of consultation with the other partners, their stakeholder networks and associates;
2. network creating partners like EUE–AISBL,  TEHNE, Children of Europe; NASMB, TIME FOUNDATION, etc.,  who, along with the leading partners, establish the network with other Non-State Actors active in the sector for sharing and promoting the resources produced by the Action;
3. partners in charge of dissemination of outputs and expantion of the impact of Eugad  (like the Municipality of Grosseto, UCIIM, who, along with the other two categories of partners, are responsible for promoting, reinforcing and using the network created by this action ;
4. Associates (like RAI, TV2, etc.), which are media enterprises and are responsible for distributing documentaries and providing technical contribution for them.
