Stakeholder Involvement
By Yuzki Wang In the context of the Women’s House project, this report identified 6 main groups of Stakeholders:
Communities: Communities including Local Community, Surrounding Villages and Voluntary groups. Details of the local community can be found in the Community engagement plan. Surrounding villages play a significantly important stakeholder. First, the Baghere women’s house is not limited to the Baghere community only, it also serves as a women’s centre for female residents in surrounding villages. Second, Baghere has very limited services, infrastructure and facilities. For instance, the closest hospital is a two hours drive away located at Sedhious. The construction of the women’s house will need support from the neighbouring villages. Volunteers can be local, national and international level. It also includes a built environment for students based in Senegal. (see community engagement on further details on community involvement of the project) Organisations: Organisations involved in this project can be grouped into 3 categories: Project organisations, Nonprofit international organisations, and competition judges. Project organisations provide brief and contexts of the projects. Non-profit international organisations provide guidelines and vision of the humanitarian sector. And Competition judges help to select the winning design to be built at the selected site Government agencies: Government agencies involved in this project can be divided into 3 levels: Local Baghere government, Sedihious region government and Republic of Senegal government. Due to the characteristic of the project, government agencies involvement was not as significant as other stakeholders. However, it is critical to consider them. Design professionals: Design professionals including Architects, Engineers and Quantity Surveyors. Design professionals are involved in this project on a part-time basis and voluntarily. Depending on project stages, they will sometimes work individually and sometimes work as a team. Construction labour and trades: Construction Labour in this project includes Local Residents, National Volunteers, international Volunteers and Built environment students. It is important to keep in mind that these Construction labours do not get much financial support from the project and they are often unskilled. Construction trades include Local builder, Sub-contractors and Specialist trades. These workforces are often semi-skilled to skilled. However, due to the budget limitation, local trades engagement is restricted. Onsite supervisor and project manager are also critical to this project because a Humanitarian project is associated with a considerable number of risks and constant supervision and appropriate management are required. Material suppliers and manufactures: Material suppliers and manufactures including Construction material suppliers, Local Farmers, Local Business and Local transportation.
