Engaging Stakeholders
Abstract
“Achieving and sustaining any development outcome depends on the contributions of multiple and interconnected actors...Each set of interconnected actors whose collective actions produce a particular outcome is a local system.” ~ USAID Local Systems Framework Development is an inherently collaborative process and so engaging with stakeholders is essential when designing and implementing effective development strategies and activities. By engaging across technical and support teams, with other USAID units, or with local communities, host governments, and partners we can identify areas of shared interest and potential cooperation. This helps us avoid duplication of effort, share what does and does not work, and develop innovative approaches to shared development challenges. When we don't invest in collaboration, we create information silos, miss opportunities, and lack critical perspectives that can make the difference between success and failure in our development interventions.
