2. Stakeholder long list. Prepare a detailed list of stakeholders, structured by general categories (such as
public sector and private sector) as well as sub-categories (see Table 2 and Table 3). The list should
include stakeholders that meet any of the following criteria.

? They are affected by environmental problems, or their decisions have environmental effects.

? They have information, resources or expertise required for policy formulation and strategy
implementation.

? They have control or influence on key mechanisms for environmental policy and strategy
formulation and implementation.

3. Stakeholder map. The detailed stakeholder list is analyzed according to criteria or attributes

important for the participatory IEA approach. Stakeholders can be categorized in different ways.
One criterion is the degree of interest and influence of the stakeholders (Table 3). Another is
based on their contribution to different parts of the report (Table 4).

A third alternative could be to use Table 3 for each IEA component presented in Table 4.

Once stakeholders are classified and selected, it is important to evaluate their availability and
commitment to the process. It is also recommended to verify if any major stakeholder groups are
missing, based on additional information.
