The value of stakeholder review

For exam­ple, in an ear­ly Latin Amer­i­can water fund case, strat­e­gy maps were cre­at­ed and shared with stake­hold­ers in the tar­get water­sheds. They not­ed that sev­er­al key areas the team had iden­ti­fied as poten­tial strat­e­gy areas were in active con­flict zones, so not avail­able for appli­ca­tion of the strat­e­gy. The team was able to update the maps and pro­vide more accu­rate infor­ma­tion for lat­er steps in the process.
