1.4 Stakeholder analysis

The stakeholders relating to each stage of the project are shown in the workflow diagram in the following (diagram 1-2). There are six key stakeholders in this project. The central stakeholder is local women, who are the beneficiaries to this project. They have the chances to take active part in the needs identification and the project planning (They can also participate in the light construction work in exchange of studying the labor skills but they do not belong to the key stakeholders). Afterall, the core concept of the project depends on their real needs and how to promote gender equality. Government also takes the important roles in this project, which is with the political ability to accommodate diverse communities and induce them to collaborate. It is also responsible for the governance of assets and operations among stakeholders (Fontainha, Leiras, Bandeira & Scavarda, 2017). Charity organisations such as Balouo Salo and Africa Union can help to collect and identify the women’s needs as well as provide support to the project planning, for example, raising the social influences and calling the volunteers. With the proceeds of the project, professions are significantly important to the success of the project. It includes the architect, engineer, QS, landscape experts and so on. They will combine the needs and requirements from other stakeholders to provide their professional suggestions and judgements for this project. The suitable materials and equipment will be procured from the local market provided by the suppliers. On the stage of the construction and post-construction, local contractors will be hired to take the most of the heavy construction work. After the completion of the project, local women can start-up for occupancy.
