Stakeholder Salience Model

Redefine stakeholders/civil society and coalition Tools

The Stakeholder Salience Model1 can be used from the TSLs to categorize the stakeholders based on power, legitimacy, and urgency (Activity 2.1. and 2.2 of TRANSFORMER Roadmap):

  1. Power: authority and influence
  2. Legitimacy: their involvement is appropriate (morally, legally, etc). Legitimate stakeholders are the ones who ‘’really count’’ for the successful operation of the TSL
  3. Urgency: calls for immediate attention, or pressing need. Urgency is based on 2 attributes:
  4. Time-sensitivity-when stakeholder’s need is time-sensitive in nature
  5. Criticality-when the need is important or critical to stakeholder
