STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT & ENGAGEMENT PART 5: ENGAGEMENT How do we engage with each stakeholder group? Do we consult? Do they participate? Are they partners? Or they just recipients of information?
There is a spectrum of ways to engage with our stakeholders depending on their unique roles, and we explore those approaches here.

What is RBM all about?  Where did it come from?
What do we even mean when we say 'a result'? Let me share a few short videos with you from our online Results-Based Management, Monitoring & Evaluation training so we know what we are talking about here. Click through for the videos.  In a valley between two hill villages there's a place where the river widens and becomes still. A banyan tree provides shade and a focus for the women who come and go - girls collecting water, women doing laundry. Sujata, a community health worker, will often drop by when visiting a nearby project to sit and listen to the news and stories.
Beneath the tree it’s always busy. The women share stories, give each other advice. A small informal market has popped up, and women buy or trade produce with each other. Marriages have even been arranged here.  “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” - according to the American Poet John Lydgate.
He Obviously Never Did Stakeholder Management.  I'm not sure who originally said this - Einstein, Plato, or John Lennon - someone on my Facebook anyway.
But it's a statement I throw at my training participants on Day 1 whenever we are doing Project Planning or RBM. And it's this: A Problem Is Not The Absence Of A Solution, It's An Existing Negative State |
