In the framework of the Water and Security (WaSe) component of the

WATER SUM project, stakeholder analyses were carried out in local

communities in Jordan (the municipalities of Al Karak, Jerash, Al-Salt

and Ajloun) and Tunisia (the delegations of Sidi Ali Ben Aoun,

Bir Mcherga, Nefza and Matmata) using the methodology established in

the WATER SUM Local Water Security Action Planning Manual.

This report presents the results of the stakeholder analyses carried out

in the partner communities.

Introduction

Through the project “Sustainable Use of Transboundary Water Resources and Water SecurityManagement” (WATER SUM) the REC is active in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region,supportedbyfundingfromtheGovernmentofSweden(SwedishInternationalDevelopmentCooperationAgency [Sida] contribution ID 52030234) [1]. The overall objective of the project is to promote andenhance sustainable water resources management and to foster a comprehensive and integratedapproachtowatersecurityandecosystemservicesforsustainabledevelopmentinbeneficiarycountriesin the MENA region in order to help halt the downward spiral of poverty, biodiversity loss andenvironmentaldegradation.Theprojectisdividedintotwocomponents:WaterResourcesManagementGoodPracticesandKnowledgeTransfer(WaterPOrT);andWaterandSecurity(WaSe).

TheWaSecomponentsupportstheprocessofintroducinganddraftinglocalwatersecurityactionplans(LWSAPs)intargetlocaladministrativeterritoriesinJordanandTunisia.Followingtheinceptionphaseofthe project, Jordan and Tunisia were selected as focus countries in the MENA region for the WaSecomponent [2], and based on stakeholder consultations in the initial phase of the project eightadministrativeterritorieswereselectedforthedevelopmentofLWSAPs.

To support the process of introducing and drafting LWSAPs, the REC team developed a step-by-stepmanual for practitioners in local communities [3]. The manual presents an original methodologycomprisingseveninterrelatedactivities,somesupportedbyaseparatetailoredmethodology,coveringstakeholderanalysis,publicopinionassessment,localwatersecurityassessment,andproblemanalysisandprioritisation.Eachofthesevenactivitiescomprisestwoormoresteps,makingatotalof20stepsintheLWSAPprocess.

Stakeholderanalysiswasundertakenineightpartnercommunitiesusingthemethodology[4]presentedintheLWSAPmanual,andthepresentreportprovidesasummaryofthemethodologyanditsresults.

TheRECteamfollowedtheapproachthatallstakeholdersshouldunderstandtheoverallprocessbeforestarting their ownwork. Itmay seem obvious that all stakeholders should be identified prior to any

Methodology

Stakeholderanalysisiscarriedoutusingamethodologyspeciallydevelopedforlocalwatersecurityactionplanning(LWSAP)withintheWATERSUMprojectbyProfessorMarkReed[4].

The LWSAP process requires a systematic initial assessment of stakeholders in each beneficiarycommunity inorderto identifyandprioritisestakeholdersfor inclusionintheactionplanningprocess.Thisassessmentwascarriedoutbyprojectteamsformedwithineachmunicipalityanddelegation.Thedetailedandreplicablemethodforconductingstakeholderanalysesincludestemplatesthatcanbeusedtocollectandorganiseinformationaboutstakeholders.

Themethodologyconsistsofsixmainstepsthataresummariedbelow.

Step 1. Initial planning team identifies two to four cross-cutting stakeholders in eachmunicipality/delegation. These stakeholders should be familiar with the widest possible range oforganisationsthatmighthaveastakeintheissue(e.g.anNGOwithaninterestinwateravailabilitylinkedtohealth, livelihoodsandenvironmentacrossthemunicipality,ratherthanonethatworksspecificallywithwomenoryoungpeople inasmallnumberofvillages).Theplanningteamshouldaimto includeorganisationsthatrepresentarangeofdifferentperspectivesontheissueinordertofacilitatedebateabouttherelativeinterestsandinfluenceofthedifferentstakeholders(e.g.someonefromagovernmentdepartment or agency and someone from an NGO, not just people from different governmentdepartments).

Step2.Theplanningteamclearlyestablishesthefocusoftheprojectorissueinwhichorganisationsmayhaveastake.Theplanningteammustbeasspecificaspossible,sothatcross-cuttingstakeholderscanclearlyidentifywhohasastakeintheprojectandwhodoesnot.

Step 3. The planning team invites cross-cutting stakeholders to a workshop. Only two to fourstakeholdersplustheprojectteamshouldbepresentattheworkshop,astheaimisnottorepresentallstakeholders(thisisnotpossibleastheyhaveyettobesystematicallyidentified).Theworkshopshouldlastapproximatelyfourhours,butifthereistimeitismorerelaxedtohaveaone-dayevent.Workshopprotocolisasfollows:

• Atthebeginningoftheworkshop,theplanningteamshouldchooseawell-knownstakeholderorganisationandrunthroughthestakeholderanalysisforthisorganisationbywayofexample.Copies of the extendable matrix (presented in the LWSAP Manual [3]) should be drawn onflipchartpaperandstucktothewall,orpresentedonascreen,sothateveryonecanseewhatisbeing done. The following attributes should be assessed: interest in water management,involvement in water management, influence, knowledge, and access to high-quality water-related information. Theplanning team sould explain that interest and influence canbebothpositiveandnegative(e.g.agroup’s interestsmightbenegativelyaffectedandtheymayhavesufficientinfluencetoblockaswellastofacilitateaproject).

• Theplanningteamshouldthenaskparticipantstoidentifyorganisations,groupsorindividualsthatareparticularlyinterestedand/orinfluential.Theseshouldbelistedinthefirstcolumnofthematrix.(AworkedexampleofthematrixisprovidedintheLWSAPManualinordertoillustratehowtheprocessworks.)Thequestionsintheboxcanbeusedaspromptstohelpidentifyasmanystakeholdersaspossible.

Themaingoalsofthetwonationalstakeholderworkshopsorganisedfollowingtheinitialworkshopswereto: provide participants with basic theoretical information on stakeholder analysis; and develop astakeholderlist(i.e.tofillintheRECGreenSheetTableonStakeholderAnalysis[3]).ThefirstworkshopwasheldonJanuary12,2016,inHammamet,Tunisia,andbroughttogethermorethan40stakeholders.The secondworkshopwas held on January 14, 2016, inAmman, Jordan, duringwhichmore than 40stakeholdersdiscussedhowwatersecurityactionplanninginfluencesnationalandlocalstakeholders.

Asaresultofbothworkshops,stakeholder listsweredevelopedforeachmunicipalityanddelegation.These stakeholder lists were cross-checked (using a so-called triangulation process) by prominentindividuals(identifiedduringtheinitialworkshops)fromeachmunicipalityanddelegation.Afewchangesweremadeduringthisprocess,andtheprojectteamcameupwithfinalstakeholdertablesthatservedasabasisforrecommendationsonsettinguplocalLWSAPteamsinJordanandTunisia.

The two national workshops were followed by a regional workshop, held on January 20, 2016, inSzentendre,Hungary,inparallelwiththeRegionalTransboundaryWaterResourcesManagementevent.Duringtheregionalworkshop,allparticipantshadachancetodoublecheckthedevelopedstakeholderlists.Discussion focusedprimarilyonhow to avoidpossible conflicts andhow to create alliances thatempowermarginalisedgroups.

Characterisingandcategorisingstakeholders

Stakeholderswerecharacterisedbasedonfiveattributes(interest,involvementinwatermanagement,influence, knowledge, and access to high-quality water-related information) using the scale High –Medium–Low.

Afteradetailedanalysisoftherelationshipbetweeninterest inand influenceontheprocessofwatermanagementplanning,stakeholdersweredividedintothefollowingmaincategories:

• Keyplayers–Stakeholderswithahighlevelofinterestandinfluencethatshouldbeinvolvedinwatermanagementplanning.

• Contextsetters–Highlyinfluentialstakeholders,butwithlittleinterest.Thesestakeholdersmayrepresentasignificantriskandshouldthereforebemonitoredandmanaged.

Conclusions

Thestakeholderanalysis,followingthepresentedmethodology,wassuccessfullycarriedoutinpartnermunicipalitiesanddelegationsoftheWATERSUMprojectundertheWaterandSecurityComponent.

- InJordan,themunicipalitiesofAjloun,AlKarak,JerashandAl-Salt- InTunisia,thedelegationsofNefza,BirMcherga,MatmataandSidiAliBenAoun

The results of the stakeholder analysis ensured the balanced composition of local planning teams bysecuringtheparticipationofdifferentstakeholders,rangingfromkeyplayerswithahighlevelofinterestandhighinfluence,tothosewho,whileperhapslessinfluential,wereveryimportantforthesuccessoftheactionplanningprocess.

The local planning teams were officially established taking into consideration the results of thestakeholderanalysisineachpartnermunicipalityanddelegation,andthelocalandnationalworkshops.Thiswasdonebymeansofaformalwrittendecision(order)ofthelocalself-governmentunit’sdecision-makingauthority(i.e.themayorinJordanortheheadofthedelegationinTunisia).

IIn the framework of the Water and Security (WaSe) component of the

WATER SUM project, stakeholder analyses were carried out in local

communities in Jordan (the municipalities of Al Karak, Jerash, Al-Salt

and Ajloun) and Tunisia (the delegations of Sidi Ali Ben Aoun,

Bir Mcherga, Nefza and Matmata) using the methodology established in

the WATER SUM Local Water Security Action Planning Manual.

This report presents the results of the stakeholder analyses carried out

in the partner communities.
