1.	Introduction	
The	WASHC	project	 is	about	establishing	and	providing	support	to	Country	Soil	Health	
Consortia	for	facilitating	wider	uptake	of	better	adapted	‘integrated	soil	fertility	management’	
(ISFM)	 practices	 with	 visible	 impact	 on	 rural	 livelihoods.	 The	 project	 recognizes	 the	
importance	of	the	involvement	of	stakeholders	from	the	various	sectors	in	ISFM	research	and	
development	in	this	process	to	facilitate	the	adoption	of	ISFM	practices.	The	project	proposal	
mentions	the	following:		
• Facilitation	 of	 national	 alliances	 for	 stakeholder	 participation	 that	 aims	 at	 the	
harmonization	 of	 the	 Integrated	 Soil	 Fertility	 Management	 (ISFM)	 practices	 (or	
solutions)		
• Facilitation	of	collaboration	among	stakeholders	to	enhance	knowledge	sharing	and	
communication	of	ISFM	information	(including	providing	access	to	information).		
• Strengthening	of	capacity	of	stakeholders	in	developing	and	delivery	or	dissemination	
of	the	these	ISFM	technologies		
During	 the	 launch	 of	 the	 project	 the	 various	 stakeholder	 groups	 were	 identified	 and	
possible	interest	that	these	stakeholder	groups	might	have	in	the	consortium	was	discussed.	
However,	 there	were	 few	 representatives	 of	 the	 various	 stakeholder	 groups	 present.	 The	
project	proposal	did	not	specify	how	the	engagement	with	stakeholder	should	take	place.	
It	was	shortly	after	the	official	 launch	of	the	project,	once	the	project	coordinator	had	
come	 on	 board,	 that	 the	 stakeholder	 engagement	was	 put	 on	 the	 agenda	 and	 especially	
having	a	more	structured	approach	towards	the	engagement	with	and	of	the	stakeholders.	
An	 activity	 to	 conduct	 a	 stakeholder	 mapping	 and	 analysis	 exercise,	 including	 the	
development	and	implementation	of	a	stakeholder	engagement	strategy,	was	subsequently	
included	in	the	workplan	as	activity	1.2.	In	this	milestone	report	we	report	on	this	activity.	
We	assumed	the	country	soil	health	consortia	had	little	or	no	experience	in	conducting	a	
stakeholder	mapping	and	analysis	exercise	and	the	regional	coordinating	office	(RCO)	took	it	
upon	herself	to	instruct	and	guide	the	CSHCs	in	doing	this	analysis.	The	first	opportunity	when	
we	would	have	the	CSHCs	together	was	the	first	annual	planning	and	review	meeting,	held	in	
Bamako	in	February	2015	and	we	devoted	considered	time	during	that	event	to	discuss	the	
stakeholder	 engagement.	 It	was	 also	during	 that	 event	 that	 stakeholder	 engagement	was	
identified	 as	 one	 of	 the	 major	 risk	 to	 the	 project	 for	 the	 sustainability	 and	 long	 term	
perspective.	
To	develop	a	stakeholder	engagement	strategy	requires	a	clear	 idea	of	the	role	of	the	
consortium	in	facilitating	the	uptake	of	ISFM	technologies	(or	to	what	extent	the	consortium	
itself	would	be	involved	directly	in	the	delivery	of	ISFM	technologies,	for	example),	and	a	clear	
idea	of	the	role	of	the	institution	hosting	the	consortium	(the	implementing	institution	of	the	
project).	 Distinction	 also	 needs	 to	 be	 made	 between	 partners	 (that	 have	 a	 role	 in	 the	
implementation	 of	 the	 project	 and	 are	 maybe	 members	 of	 the	 consortium)	 and	 the	
stakeholders	themselves.	An	important	aspect	of	the	stakeholder	engagement	strategy	is	the	
communication	with	 the	stakeholders,	and	CSHC	were	asked	to	develop	a	communication	
strategy	for	the	consortium	and	project.		
The	expected	outputs	of	the	exercise	where,	therefore,	a	list	of	stakeholders	(partner	and	
stakeholder	database),	a	report	on	the	stakeholder	analyses,	a	stakeholder	engagement	and

communication	strategy.	We	have	been	able	to	generate	these	outputs	only	partially,	maybe	
because	 not	 all	 CSHCs	 saw	 the	 relevance	 and	 importance	 of	 this	 exercise,	 maybe,	 also,	
because	of	a	different	perception	of	what	the	consortium	is	about	and	what	its	role	should	
be.	
A	first	report	on	the	stakeholder	analyses	and	engagement	was	already	written	in	2015.	
However,	 we	 felt	 at	 time	 that	 the	 report	 was	 not	 complete	 and	 we	 were	 still	 expected	
additional	information	from	the	Country	Soil	Health	Consortiums.	At	that	time,	the	Southern	
node	of	the	Nigeria	Soil	Health	consortium	had	not	been	established.	Therefore,	we	present	
the	updated	version	of	the	Stakeholder	mapping	and	analyses	report.		
2.	The	approach	to	stakeholder	mapping	and	analyses	
The	regional	coordinating	office	(RCO)	developed	a	document	to	guide	the	Country	Soil	
Health	Consortia	(CSHC)	on	how	they	should	conduct	the	stakeholder	mapping	and	analyses	
exercise.	An	abridged	version	of	that	document	is	presented	in	Appendix	1,	entitled	“What	is	
a	stakeholder	and	Stakeholder	Mapping”.	In	the	document	the	four	steps	in	the	process	of	
analyses	 and	 engaging	 with	 stakeholder	 is	 explained.	 The	 steps	 consist	 of:	 stakeholder	
identification,	stakeholder	analysis,	planning	for	stakeholder	engagement	and	engaging	with	
stakeholders.	The	1st	annual	planning	and	review	meeting	was	the	first	opportunity	to	present	
this	document	and	to	discuss	stakeholder	engagement	and	to	come	to	a	unified	approach	to	
be	adopted	by	the	then	five	CSHC.	During	that	meeting,	the	RCO	also	presented	a	proposal	
for	the	stakeholder	categorization.	How	the	stakeholder	is	categorized	is	important,	because	
the	category	determines	the	role	the	stakeholder	may	can	play	in	achieving	the	objectives	of	
the	 consortium,	 which	 is	 the	 facilitation	 of	 the	 wider	 uptake	 of	 ISMF	 technologies	 and	
practices.	 To	 agree	 on	 the	 stakeholder	 categorization	 also	 helps	 to	 develop	 a	 common	
terminology	and	shared	understanding	of	what	the	stakeholder	does.	It	helps	to	have	each	
stakeholder	catalogued	adequately.	For	example,	the	Non-Governmental	Organization	(NGO)	
defines	the	legal	status,	but	can	be	understood	to	have	different	functions.	In	the	context	of	
the	project,	with	NGO	we	generally	refer	to	outreach	partners	or	development	partners.	The	
stakeholder	categorization	index	is	presented	in	Appendix	2.	
For	the	stakeholder	analysis,	it	is	important	to	know	what	the	(possible)	interest	of	the	
stakeholder	 is	 in	 the	consortium,	or,	 to	put	 it	differently,	what	 interest	of	 the	stakeholder	
could	have	in	the	proper	functioning	of	the	consortium.	This	would	determine	the	willingness	
to	collaborate	or	participate	actively	in	the	consortium	activities.	The	role	and	function	in	the	
consortium	 that	 you	 would	 want	 to	 assign	 to	 the	 stakeholder	 depends	 on	 the	 stake	 the	
partner	 has	 in	 the	 consortium.	 On	 the	 other	 end,	 you	 have	 the	 influence	 or	 power	 that	
stakeholders	 may	 exert	 on	 the	 consortium.	 Those	 that	 have	 much	 influence	 and	 strong	
interest	in	the	consortium	are	the	key	players	and	you	want	to	involve	them	in	the	governance	
of	the	project	or	consortium.	For	those	that	have	much	influence	but	not	the	strong	interest	
in	the	project	or	consortium,	you	may	want	to	raise	their	interest.	For	those	stakeholders	that	
have	a	keen	interest,	but	maybe	not	that	much	influence,	you	want	to	serve	their	 interest	
well	and	they	might	provide	support	for	the	consortium	and	generate	a	lot	of	goodwill.	Those	
that	 have	 little	 influence	 and	 little	 interest	 you	 want	 to	 keep	 informed	 through	 general	
communication.	Another	important	variable	is	the	geographical	focus	of	the	location	on	the	
activities	of	the	stakeholder.	The	scaling	of	ISFM	practices	is	per	definition	bound	to	specific

areas	and	you	want	to	involve	those	stakeholder	that	are	already	active	in	the	priority	areas	
set	by	the	consortium.		
Based	 on	 the	 above	 analyses	 you	 will	 determine	 the	 approach	 to	 engage	 with	 the	
stakeholder	and	you	will	also	determine	the	channel	of	engagement	that	is	the	most	suitable	
for	that	stakeholder.	The	consortium	where	thus	instructed	to	conduct	the	analyses	and	to	
map	the	stakeholder	interest	and	influence	as	well	as	to	specify	the	engagement	approach	
and	channel,	filling	the	table	with	the	following	information:	
• Stakeholder	name	–	The	title/name	of	the	organization,	body	or	institution.		
• Stakeholder	category	–	Which	was	in	accordance	with	the	stakeholder	categories	
provided,	they	inserted	the	category	which	the	stakeholder	fell	under.	
• Interest	in	CSHC	–	The	interest	of	the	stakeholder	that	is	being	addressed	by	the	
endeavors	of	the	project/consortium	and	its	outcomes.	
• Influence/Power	–	The	stakeholders	influence/power	on	the	direction	of	project	and	
outcomes.	
• Location	of	activities	–	The	geographical	spread	of	the	stakeholders’	activities,	in	
respect	of	the	WASHC	project	and	indeed	at	a	CSHC	level.	
• Engagement	approach	–	The	approach	by	which	communication	is	to	operate	
between	the	CSHC	and	the	Stakeholder.	
• Engagement	channel	–	What	channel	of	communication	is	to	be	established	and	
implemented.	
See	Appendix	3	for	the	results	of	the	stakeholder	analyses;	that	is,	the	‘Interest	and	
Influence/Power’	tables	filled	by	each	of	the	CSHC.	Mali	CSHC	mapped	the	area	where	
activities	are	implemented	through	their	various	outreach	and	development	partners,	as	a	
special	way	of	stakeholder	mapping	(results	not	presented).		
Based	 on	 the	 stakeholder	 analyses,	 each	 consortium	 was	 expected	 to	 develop	 their	
stakeholder	engagement	and	communication	strategies.	This	was	to	be	done	by	elaborating	
on	the	engagement	approach	and	engagement	channels	and	providing	detail	and	clarification	
on	 the	 content	 of	 the	 communication.	 That	 is	 to	 come	 up	 with	 concrete	 plans	 on	 the	
communication	 and	 engagement	 with	 the	 various	 stakeholder	 groups.	 The	 consortia	 had	
originally	 concentrated	 on	 the	 interest	 and	 influence	 aspects,	 to	 give	 thought	 to	 the	
engagement	approach	and	engagement	channels	only	 later.	 It	 is,	however,	only	 the	Niger	
CSHC	that	elaborated	on	the	communication	strategy	for	the	consortium.	Considerations	are	
to	involve	stakeholder	as	strategic	partners	in	training,	organizing	symposiums	and	meetings,	
sharing	 of	 data	 and	 information,	 and	 consolidating	 the	 dissemination	 and	 facilitating	 the	
scaling	best	bet	ISFM	technologies.	
3.	Consortium	Stakeholder	Directory	
Establishing	 a	 stakeholder	 list	 is	 an	 important	 and	 logical	 step	 in	 the	 process	 of	
stakeholder	 identification.	 The	 consortia	 and	 their	 respective	 host	 organizations	 have	 the	
tendency	 to	 fall	 back	on	existing	partnerships	and	establish	personal	 relationships	 for	 the	
implementation	of	the	project.	For	a	consortium	that	aims	to	facilitate	the	scaling	of	 ISFM

technologies,	and	that	is	certainly	not	‘business	as	usual’,	this	may	however	not	be	enough.	
Also,	the	consortium	asks	for	an	institutional	commitment,	to	sustains	its	operations	in	the	
longer	 term.	 The	 consortiums	 were	 tasked	 to	 developing	 stakeholder	 directories,	 to	
accompany	 their	 stakeholder	 engagement	 strategies.	 This	 stakeholder	 directory	 aimed	 to	
collect	 the	details	 of	 all	 the	 agriculture	 and	 soil	management	 related	bodies	 that	operate	
within	 the	 national	 agricultural	 system,	 rather	 than	 to	 only	 capture	 the	 details	 of	 the	
consortiums	strategic	partners.	The	effort	in	the	end	is	to	develop	a	national	one-stop-shop	
for	 ISFM	data	and	 information	to	serve	all	 relevant	stakeholders.	The	consortiums	worked	
especially	 in	 the	 last	 year	 of	 the	 project	 to	 complete	 the	 templates	 for	 the	 stakeholder	
directory.	The	template	contains	the	following	data	fields	for	the	consortia	to	fill:		
• Stakeholder	name:	which	simply	is	the	name/title	of	the	organisation,	public	or	
private	institute,	or	other.		
• Acronym:	the	abbreviation	of	the	above.		
• Type	of	business:	The	‘type	of	business’	serves	as	type	of	organisation,	whether	
government	institution,	non-governmental	organisation	private	business	and	other		
• Purpose:	This	covers	the	organisation	purpose,	what	is	does	and	type	of	activities	it	
is	engaged	in.		
• Area	of	operation:	Three	options	were	given:	National,	Regional	and	Sub	Regional	or	
specific	area	where	activities	are	concentrated	could	be	stated.	
• Stakeholder	category:	Stakeholder	category	in	accordance	with	the	defined	
stakeholder	categorisation	index	presented	in	Appendix	2.	
• Address:	This	is	the	organisations	physical/postal	address.		
• Email	Address:	the	email	address	of	the	organisation.		
• Telephone	organisation:	Contact	telephone	number	of	the	organisation.		
• Contact	person:	Name	of	an	employee	or	representative	of	the	organisation	for	
direct	contact.	
• Email	of	contact	person:	email	address	of	the	contact	rep	–	if	applicable.	
• Telephone	number	of	contact	person:	Telephone	number	of	the	contact	rep	–	if	
applicable.	
The	stakeholder	directories	of	the	various	CSHC	can	be	viewed	in	Appendix	4.	It	is	also	
available	as	separate	document	(WASHC2017_021_Stakeholder	Directory	Final)	and	will	be	
made	available	online.		
The	template	for	the	stakeholder	directory	contained	more	fields	than	the	template	for	
the	original	stakeholder	identification	and	mapping	exercise.	While	the	stakeholder	mapping	
and	 analyses	was	 intended	 for	 internal	 use	 only,	 the	 stakeholder	 directory	 is	 intended	 to	
provide	 information	on	stakeholders	 for	third	parties.	However,	 the	consortiums	generally	
used	the	template	to	provide	information	for	the	empty	fields	in	the	already	existing	record	
related	to	the	existing	strategic	partners,	rather	than	adding	information	on	stakeholders	that	
had	not	 yet	 been	 captured	 that	 they	had	not	 yet	 already	 engaged	with.	 Therefore,	 some	
additional	work	would	be	required	to	make	them	more	complete	or	comprehensive.	We	also	
need	 to	 realize	 that	 these	 directories	 need	 to	 be	maintained	 and	updated	 to	make	 them	
useful.	We	hope	the	CSHCs	will	 take	 the	responsibility	 to	maintain	 these	directories,	even	
though	the	project	has	finished,	and	that	would	include	rectifying	errors	in	the	allocation	of	
the	stakeholders	to	the	defined	stakeholder	groups.

Some	CSHCs	 saw	 the	 benefits	 of	 having	 such	 stakeholder	 directories	 and	went	 a	 step	
further.	For	example,	 the	Niger	Soil	Health	Consortium,	developed	a	separate	directory	of	
agrodealers	 in	 their	 country.	 In	 2015,	 they	 produced	 a	 ‘Distributors	 Directory	 of	 Niger	
Agricultural	Inputs’	(NISHC2016_013)	and	in	the	following	year,	2016,	a	‘Supplier	Directory	of	
Niger	 Agricultural	 Inputs’	 (NISHC2016_014).	 These	 directories	 included	wholesalers,	 semi-
wholesalers	and	retailers	of	agricultural	inputs.	The	information	on	each	agro-dealer	consists	
of	 the	 typical	 directory	 information	 and	 further	 details,	 such	 as;	 the	name	of	 the	 contact	
person	and/or	organization,	contact	telephone	number,	the	town	and	city	of	operation	and	
the	region	of	operation.	Both	directories	also	included	GPS	strategic	maps	with	the	location	
of	all	agro-dealers	included	in	the	listing.	In	this	way,	the	coverage	of	the	agro-dealer	networks	
can	be	assessed.		
The	consortiums	were	tasked	to	develop	stakeholder	engagement	strategies,	which	were	
to	 include	 the	 products	 and	 technologies	 they	 had	 developed	 or	 collected	 and	 that	 they	
wished	 to	 disseminate,	 and	 to	 include	 plans	 for	 the	 dissemination	 of	 further	 information	
materials,	the	frequency,	channel	of	dissemination	and	targeted	stakeholders.	The	Niger	Soil	
Health	Consortium	and	the	Southern	Node	of	the	Nigeria	Soil	Health	Consortium	were	the	
only	two	that	took	up	the	challenge	to	develop	these	engagement	strategies.	The	other	CSHCs	
had	initiated	the	process	and	have	taken	steps	towards	developing	communication	plans,	but	
this	has	not	resulted	in	final	products.		We	want	to	encourage	the	CHSCs	to	further	work	on	
the	stakeholder	engagement	strategies	and	communication	plans	because	a	more	structured	
approach	will	be	far	more	effective	than	an	ad	hoc	approach.	Such	stakeholder	engagement	
plan	will	we	crucial	to	the	success	of	the	CSHCs	in	the	period	after	the	closing	of	the	project.		
Representation	of	the	stakeholder	categories	in	the	consortiums	
Below,	we	present	the	figures	of	the	stakeholder	distribution	per	stakeholder	category	in	
the	 stakeholder	 directories	 for	 each	 of	 the	 CSHC,	 and	 we	 comment	 on	 the	 gaps	 in	 the	
stakeholder	representation.		
Ghana	stakeholder	identification	and	representation	
The	Ghana	CSHC	listed	a	total	of	38	stakeholders.	It	seems	that	emphasis	is	put	on	the	
agro	input	dealers,	with	six	organizations	falling	in	this	category.	However,	from	the	directory	
it	shows	that	only	two	organization	really	qualify	as	agro-input	dealers	of	which	one	(Chemico	
Ltd)	is	focusing	on	fertilizer	blending	rather	on	dealing	of	agricultural	inputs.	It	shows	that	the	
categorization	 can	 be	 difficult,	 also	 because	 Chemico,	 for	 example,	 is	 listed	 as	 a	 farmer	
organization.	An	organization	that	fulfils	different	functions,	should	be	listed	several	times	in	
the	directory,	one	time	for	each	specific	function	is	has.	So,	rather	than	putting	emphasis	on	
agro-dealers	we	see	that	agro-dealers	seem	to	be	under-represented,	assuming	that	in	Ghana	
you	have	a	lot	of	local	agro-dealers	and	stockists	that	play	a	crucial	role	in	input	distribution	
as	well	as	 in	the	distribution	of	 information.	 In	any	engagement	strategy	for	the	scaling	of	
ISFM,	this	stakeholder	group	cannot	be	missed.	
We	do	see	a	lot	of	emphasis	being	put	on	research	institutes,	both	the	international	and	
the	 national	 institutes.	 Certainly,	 if	 we	 also	 include	 the	 national	 agricultural	 extensions	
services,	institutes	of	higher	learning	and	the	(sub-)	regional	research	coordinating	bodies	we	
observe	an	imbalance	in	the	representation	of	the	stakeholder	categories.	This	is	explained	
by	the	fact	that	the	host	institution	for	the	consortium	in	Ghana	is	a	national	research	institute	
itself,	and	the	institute	is	already	affiliated	with	these	national,	sub-regional	and	international

research	 institutions	as	well	 as	with	 the	universities	 that	are	 listed.	This	will	 also	 signify	a	
tendency	of	 the	 consortium	 to	 focus	on	 the	 research	and	 innovation	aspects	of	 the	work	
Number	of	stakeholders	identified	per	stakeholder	category	for	Ghana	CSHC	rather	than	on	
the	aspects	of	delivery	and	dissemination	and	on	the	advocacy	for	ISFM	and	sustainable	soil	
management	 practices.	 And	 herewith	 it	 is	 also	 expected	 that	 emphasis	 is	 put	 on	 the	
identification	and	prioritization	of	ISFM	practices	and	the	formulation	of	recommendations	
(including	 those	 for	 fertilizer	 use).	 It	 also	 illustrates	 that	 we,	 probably,	 should	 pay	 more	
attention	 to	 the	 key	 partners	 that	 should	 be	 included	 in	 the	 consortium	 from	 the	 start,	
depending	a	role	and	function	that	we	want	to	attribute	to	the	consortium.		
We	see	a	similar	tendency	with	respect	to	the	Non-Governmental	Organization	that	seem	
to	be	represented	mainly	by	the	 international	organization	 like	 IFDC,	GIZ,	SNV	and	others.	
Though	one	or	 two	 local	NGO’s	 are	mentioned,	 the	 poor	 representation	 of	 local	NGOs	 is	
striking	and	should	be	considered	an	oversight.	It	is	these	local	organizations	that	are	crucial	
in	the	delivery	and	dissemination	of	the	technologies	and	it	is	these	local	organizations	that	
the	consortium	may	exert	some	influence	on.	For	the	international	organizations,	even	if	they	
operate	at	national	level,	it	is	questionable	whether	the	consortium	has	the	convening	power	
to	bring	them	together.	They	are	important	stakeholders	and	how	the	consortium	wants	to	
engage	with	them	needs	to	be	further	considered.

Also,	 without	 any	 farmer	 based	 organisations	 identified	 it	 does	 not	 lend	 well	 to	 the	
prospect	of	the	dissemination	of	the	technologies	to	farmers.	One	prospect	that	these	figures	
reveal	is	the	possibility	that	the	consortium	is	looking	towards	the	specialisation	of	the	NGO’s	
and	the	sole	civil	society	organisation	to	assist	in	the	facilitation	of	dissemination,	which	in	
effect	 could	 yield	 not	 only	 beneficial	 outcomes,	 but	 fortify	 sustainable	 collaborations	 and	
improved	 capacity	 development.	 The	 consortium	 listed	 one	 donor	 organisation,	 AGRA,	
however	in	hindsight,	and	with	the	absence	of	any	micro	finance	institutions,	it	will	be	in	the	
consortium’s	 favoured	 interest	 to	 seek	 for	 other	 sources	 of	 financing.	 There	 are	 national	
sources	of	financing	that	the	consortium	should	focus	on	and	that	could	be	influenced	more	
easily	 through	 the	 advocacy	 work.	 Also,	 sub-regional	 bodies	 like	 ECOWAS,	 and

existing	alliances.	The	host	 institution	 is	the	 Institute	of	Agricultural	Research	and	Training	
(IAR&T),	 which	 has,	 in	 line	 with	 the	 work	 it	 is	 doing,	 a	 broad	 network	 of	 upstream	 and	
downstream	institution	and	organizations.	 IAR&T	is	associated	with	the	Obafemi	Awolowo	
University	 (formerly	 the	 University	 of	 Ife)	 and	 the	 various	 universities	 in	 the	 region	 are	
‘natural’	 partners	 and	 seem	 to	 skew	 the	 distribution	 somewhat	 to	 a	 relatively	 high	
representation	of	academic	 institutions.	On	 the	other	hand,	 IAR&T	does	also	downstream	
activities	 related	 to	 technology	 dissemination	 and	maintains	 good	 contact	 with	 the	 Local	
Government	Areas	 (LGA)	 in	 the	 region,	 the	Agricultural	Development	Programs	 (ADP)	and	
farmer	 organizations	 it	 can	 mobilize.	 Within	 the	 context	 of	 the	 project	 they	 also	 sought	
contact	with	the	agro	input	dealer	associations,	seed	company,	and	a	fertilizer	company	and	
one	financial	institution	(the	Bank	of	Agriculture).	Their	network	seems	to	be	quite	broad	with	
a	good	representation	of	 the	various	stakeholder	categories.	Themselves	belonging	 to	 the	
‘NARS’	and	having	 the	extension	services	also	 represented	within	 their	organization	 these	
stakeholder	categories	are	also	represented.	The	only	gap	seems	to	be	the	absence	of	any	
NGO	or	farmer	outreach	partner,	that	no	doubt	will	be	plenty	in	the	region.	We	suggest	that	
the	NSS-SHC	further	elaborates	the	stakeholder	directory	to	identify	stakeholders	that	do	not	
necessarily	also	need	to	be	partners	in	the	consortium.	The	provide	sector	could	be	better	
represented	and	then	especially	the	those	from	the	input	sector,	fertilizers,	organo-mineral

fertilizers,	manures	etc.	This	would	assist	the	consortium	in	bolstering	the	range	and	scope	of	
their	product	and	technology	dissemination.	
Nigeria	CSHC	Northern	Node	stakeholder	identification	and	representation	
The	Nigeria	CSHC	Northern	Node	has	listed	22	stakeholders.	It	is	clear	from	their	chart	
that	the	consortium	has	placed	emphasis	on	the	NARS	and	universities	in	the	region	and	on	
the	various	institutions	and	departments	at	federal	level.	Like	for	the	southern	node,	the	NNN	
SHC	also	mentions	the	ADPs	in	the	region.	A	few	large	in	international	projects	are	mentioned	
as	 well	 as	 a	 few	 internationally	 operating	 NGOs.	 Three	 farmer-based	 organizations	 were	
included	 in	 the	 later	 phases	 of	 the	 project.	 Like	 is	 the	 case	 for	 the	 other	 consortium	 the	
stakeholder	 list	 seems	 a	 reflection	 of	 already	 existing	 partnership	 and	 collaborations.	 For	
developing	 a	 comprehensive	 stakeholder	 engagement	 strategy,	 however,	 the	 list	 should	
reflect	most	of	the	stakeholders	that	are	active	in	the	region	and	whose	work	has	a	bearing	
on	the	work	of	the	consortium,	to	facilitate	scaling	of	ISFM	practices	through	the	enhanced	
dissemination	 of	 ISFM	 information	 and	 technologies.	 Local	 operating	 NGO	 and	 outreach	
partners,	agro-dealers	and	for	example	the	National	Agricultural	Extension	Research	&	Liaison	
Services	need	to	be	included	in	the	list.	
Burkina	Faso	CSHC	stakeholder	identification	and	representation	
The	stakeholder	directory	of	Burkina	Faso	CSHC	contains	88	entries,	which	is	much	more	
than	most	of	the	other	CSHC	have	listed.	However,	this	number	is	inflated	to	some	extent,	
because	 of	 the	 multiple	 entries	 that	 occur	 for	 the	 same	 organization	 for	 the	 different	
telephone	 numbers	 or	 contacts.	 The	 numbers	 for	 Government	 Organizations	 and	 for	
institutes	of	higher	learning	the	numbers	seem	quite	high,	but	this	is	because,	the	different	
ministries,	 department	 and	 regional	 offices	 are	 listed	 as	 separate	 stakeholders.	 These	
different	 ranks	 within	 the	 same	 organization	 should	 indeed	 be	 considered	 as	 separate	
stakeholders	 if	 you	 consider	 engaging	 with	 them	 separately.	 For	 example,	 INERA	 as	 the	
national	agricultural	research	organization	appears	quite	often	in	the	list,	because	of	different	
directorates	and	departments	and	regional	offices.	Such	further	segmentation	has	not	been	
done	other	organizations	like	‘Reseau	MARP’	and	that	explain	partly	the	imbalance	between	
the	 various	 stakeholder	 categories.	 Also,	 there	 is	 a	 question	 of	 classification,	 where	 for	
example	BUNASLs	is	identified	as	a	government	organizations	whereas	this	should	probably	
be	 classified	 as	 a	 national	 research	 institute.	 The	 stakeholder	 directory	 seems	 quite	
comprehensive,	 but	 the	 consistency	 on	 how	 information	 on	 the	 various	 stakeholders	 is	
entered	could	be	improved.	Also,	there	is	a	lot	of	missing	information,	for	example	on	what	
the	organization	does	and	what	its	purpose	is.	Further	work	should	be	done	to	complete	the	
database	 and	 improve	 consistency.	 The	 BF	 stakeholder	 directory	 also	 illustrates	 that	 this	
could	be	implemented	using	a	database	management	system,	rather	than	storing	the	data	in	
a	flat	file	like	EXCEL,	for	more	efficient	management	of	the	data.	
Nevertheless,	 the	 orientation	 towards	 government	 affiliated	 institutions,	 the	 research	
institutions	and	universities,	like	we	see	for	the	other	CSHCs	as	well,	raises	questions	about	
what	is	seen	as	the	major	role	for	the	consortium,	the	ideas	on	how	the	consortium	should	
operate	and	what	the	main	stakeholders	are.	As	already	stated	across	the	above	consortiums,	
there	 seem	 to	 be	 some	 major	 gaps	 in	 their	 stakeholder	 identification	 and	 mapping.	 For	
example,	 financial	 institutions	 and	 donor	 organizations	 are	 not	 represented.	 Also,	
information	service	providers	are	absent	from	the	list,	as	are	the	agrodealer	networks.	The	
BF	CSHC	is	encourage	to	rethink	and	further	develop	their	stakeholder	engagement	strategy.

Niger	CSHC	stakeholder	directory		
Niger	CSHC	has	listed	40	stakeholders.	The	stakeholder	directory	shows	a	good	spread	of	
stakeholders	 across	 all	 the	 stakeholder	 categories	 and	 is	 herewith	 probably	 the	 most	
comprehensive	directory	among	the	directories	of	the	CSHCs.

on	the	most	promising	ISFM	practices	for	scaling	or	whether	related	to	the	advocacy	for	more

stimulate	fertilizer	consumption	by	the	smallholder	farmers.		
The	 agrodealers	 play	 an	 important	 role	 in	 the	 input	 supply	 to	 farmers,	 but	would	 be	
likewise	important	to	extend	information	on	best	management	practices	and	ISFM.	The	Niger

distribution	 of	 these	 agrodealers	 within	 the	 country	 that	 is	 taken	 from	 the	 Agrodealers	
directory.	 This	 is	 very	 useful	 information	 for	 any	 project	 or	 institution	 involved	 in	 input	
distribution	to	farmers	and	in	planning	for	how	the	input	distribution	and	access	of	farmers

The	 Niger	 CSHC	 also	 developed	 the	 stakeholder	 engagement	 strategy,	 which	 is	 the	
stakeholder	 directory	 in	 which	 the	 ‘involvement	 of	 the	 stakeholder	 in	 the	 project	 or	
consortium’	 is	 further	 elaborated	 from	 what	 is	 presented	 in	 the	 appendix.	 Niger	 CSHCs	
distinguished	principally	between	five	ways	in	engaging	with	the	stakeholder:	
1. As	partner,	of	which	the	majority	will	have	a	seat	in	the	steering	committee	where	the	
major	decision	regarding	the	consortium	will	be	taken	
2. As	participants	that	part	of	and	take	part	in	the	activities	of	the	consortium,	or	that	
have	the	responsibility	for	specific	activities.	
3. As	consultants	that	are	involved	in	the	consortium’s	activities	but	are	not	accountable	
and	do	not	have	any	influence	outside	their	domain	of	expertise	
4. To	relay	communication	to,	or	that	have	a	role	in	relaying	and	channeling	information	
to	their	members	
5. The	pull	communication	–	related	to	stakeholders	that	seek	information	on	the	
consortium	or	ISFM	and	that	will	pull	the	information	from	the	website	and	repository	
and	that	will	or	cannot	be	actively	targeted.	
The	stakeholder	engagement	plan	can	be	obtained	from	the	Niger	Country	Soil	Health	
Consortium	 or	 requested	 from	 the	 Regional	 coordinating	 office	 of	 the	 project	 (doc.:	
NISHC2016_013	and	NISHC2016_013)

Mali	CSHC	stakeholder	directory	
	
The	Mali	CSHC	listed	a	total	of	25	stakeholders.	With	regards	to	the	Mali	consortium’s	
efforts	it	is	apparent	that	they	attach	a	lot	of	importance	on	the	inclusion	of	NGOs,	the	farmer	
outreach	and	development	partners.	It	reflects	the	emphasis	that	the	Mali	CSHC	put	on	the	
delivery	and	dissemination	of	the	ISFM	to	the	farmers	through	the	direct	involvement	of	the	
outreach	partners,	and	which	is	very	much	appreciated.	It	is	a	very	practical	approach,	but,	in	
comparison	to	the	other	CSHC	to	the	likes	of	the	Niger	SHC,	the	question	rises	whether	the	
role	of	facilitating	the	scaling	of	ISFM	can	be	given	sufficient	attention	in	the	way.	With	the	
perceived	lack	of	national	policy	and	regulatory	bodies	and	the	few	NARS	and	ATI	it	seems	
that	the	advocacy	role	and	the	role	to	identify	and	promote	the	best	ISFM	practices	may	be	
compromised.	Nevertheless,	this	might	be	a	valuable	approach	and	it	would	be	good	to	learn	
whether	 and	 to	 what	 extent	 the	 outreach	 partners	 have	 been	 able	 to	 harmonize	 their	
approach	to	the	delivery	of	ISFM	technologies	and	whether	the	outreach	and	development	
partners	 have	 benefitted	 from	 their	 engagement	 with	 the	 Mali	 CSHC	 or	 whether	 the	
collaboration	between	the	various	types	of	institutions	in	specific	regions	has	improved	(for	
example	between	the	outreach	partners	and	the	micro-finance	institutions).	The	Mali	CSHC	
needs	to	think	how	it	will	expand	and	extent	its	activities,	and	which	model	they	would	want	
to	employ	for	this.

Stakeholder	identification	for	the	CSHCs	combined	
When	adding	 the	numbers	 form	 the	 stakeholder	 identification	 from	 the	various	CSHC	
together	we	arrive	 at	 239	 stakeholders	 in	 total.	 It	 is,	 however,	 difficult	 to	 interpret	 these	
figures,	because	of	the	different	ways	in	which	the	enumeration	is	done	and	difference	in	the	
way	 the	 stakeholders	 are	 assigned	 a	 stakeholder	 category.	 The	 high	 numbers	 of	 policy	
institutions	and	regulatory	bodies	(49)	and	that	of	the	academic	and	training	institutions	(63)	
are	 inflated	by	the	submissions	of	the	Burkina	Faso	CSHC.	 It	might	be	useful	to	distinguish	
between	 ‘policy	 institutions’	 and	 government	 institutions.	 Ministries,	 departments	 of	
ministries	 and	 government	 institutes	 are	 currently	 grouped	 together	 with	 the	 policy	
institutions.	The	executive	branch	of	government	cannot	be	classified	as	policy	 institution,	
but	certainly	play	an	important	role	and	need	to	be	recognized	as	such.	The	high	number	of	
government	related	institutions	illustrates	the	dominance	of	these	institutions	in	the	sphere	
of	rural	social	and	economic	development.	This	might	be	expected	for	development	within	
the	public	 domain,	 but	 at	 the	 same	 time	 this	 dominance	might	 also	 be	 a	 problem	as	 the	
governments	 generally	 do	 not	 have	 the	 resources	 to	 address	 these	 problems	 around	
unsustainable	use	of	soil	resources.	In	a	similar	way	questions	can	be	asked	about	the	large	
number	of	 institutions	of	higher	 learning.	This	program	 is	a	bout	scaling	of	 ISFM	to	which	
these	institutions	have	probably	 little	to	contribute	and	it	raises	questions	about	what	the	
strategic	partners	of	the	consortium	ideally	should	be.	
	The	large	number	of	NARS	(28)	shows	that	the	consortiums	primary	point	of	call	was	to	
integrate	the	already	closely	affiliated	 institutions	and	bodies,	but	that	are	considered	still	
integral	to	the	consortium’s	approach	to	effective	dissemination	and	the	facilitation	of	the	
wider	 uptake	 of	 ISFM.	 The	 agro-input	 dealers	 with	 21	 representatives	 seem	 to	 be	 well	
represented	and	this	 is	welcomed	because	without	 the	 inputs	supply	 the	delivery	of	 ISFM	
technologies	would	not	go	far.	The	same	applies	to	the	NGOs.	In	both	cases,	we	have	argued	
that	the	numbers	could	be	increased.	For	the	agro-input	dealers	it	may	be	good	to	distinguish	
between	 manufacturers,	 the	 lager	 suppliers	 and	 distributors	 and	 the	 small	 suppliers	 or	
stockists,	because	they	all	have	a	different	role	to	play.	The	same	for	the	NGOs;	it	is	good	to	
distinguish	between	the	international	and	locally	operating	NGOs.	The	latter	are	in	the	end	
the	more	important	in	delivering	the	technologies	to	the	farmers,	and	their	number	could	be	
increased.		
The	next	tier	of	groupings	of	stakeholders	relates	to	the	IARC’s,	private	sector	fertilizer	
industry,	 information	 service	 providers,	 farmer	 based	 organizations,	 micro	 finance	
institutions	and	NAES.	We	assume	it	is	still	a	challenge	to	engage	these	types	of	stakeholder	
actively.	We	may	invite	these	institutions	to	stakeholder	meetings,	but	even	if	they	are	coming	
already,	we	find	it	difficult	to	engage	with	them.	We	will	need	to	increase	the	interest	of	these	
type	of	stakeholders	and	that	will	require	and	active	approach	and	dialogue.	An	issue	to	also	
consider	is	the	strength	or	level	or	organization	of	these	institutions.	
The	last	grouping	consists	of	five	stakeholder	categories	that	are	all	represented	in	low	
numbers	 include	 intergovernmental	 organization	 (IGOs)	 and	 regional	 research	 and	
development	organizations,	regional	economic	communities,	donor	organization,	civil	society	
organization,	and	private	sector	food	production	industry.	The	low	numbers	are	expected	in	
case	of	regional	bodies	for	example,	because	there	are	not	that	many.	Finding	a	way	to	engage	
with	these	organizations	remains	important	though.	In	relation	to	the	funding	bodies,	it	is	not	
as	much	the	sourcing	of	funds	for	the	consortium	itself	that	is	a	consideration,	but	rather	to	
be	 able	 to	 influence	 funding	 streams	 towards	 sustainable	 resource	management	 and	 soil

fertility	management.	The	soil	health	consortium	would	want	to	be	recognized	as	a	discussion	
partner	to	be	consulted	on	matters	related	to	funding	of	initiatives	towards	more	sustainable	
use	of	the	natural	resources.	Apart	from	that	the	consortium	can	solicit	the	regional	bodies	
for	 funding	of	 the	consortium	or	 its	activities.	The	 food	processors	and	retail	 industry	you	
want	to	keep	on	board	to	maintain	a	value	chain	perspective.	In	the	end	the	scaling	of	ISFM	
will	only	be	successful	if	there	is	a	market	for	the	produce.	The	consortium	could	play	a	role	
to	broker	links	between	the	producers,	the	development	and	outreach	partners	and	the	off-
takers.	Dialoguing	with	the	group	of	stakeholders	will	be	good	for	the	strategic	planning	and	
longer	term	perspective	of	the	consortium.	
Conclusion:	
It	was	a	lengthy	process	to	convince	the	CSHCs	of	the	relevance	of	developing	a	proper	
stakeholder	engagement,	to	achieve	a	common	understanding	and	to	convince	the	CSHC	to	
put	some	energy	into	this	process	of	developing	the	strategy	and	to	invest	in	the	engagement	
with	 stakeholders	 itself.	 The	 stakeholder	 involvement	 is	 not	 as	 much	 important	 for	 the	
success	of	the	project	as	such,	as	it	is	for	the	consortium	and	its	long-term	operation.	That	is	
why	the	project	devoted	considerable	attention	was	to	this	topic,	as	part	of	the	support	given	
to	the	CSHCs.	That	support	is	provided	under	the	assumption	that	a	longer	life	will	be	befallen	
on	the	consortium	than	just	to	the	end	of	the	project	and	that	the	host	institutions	have	the	
intention	to	support	the	CSHCS	for	the	longer	term.	The	facilitation	of	the	scaling	of	the	ISFM	
technologies	and	practices	will	require	time	and	labor	for	a	longer	period.	
Even	 though	 ‘complete’	 stakeholder	 directories	 have	 not	 been	 fully	 actualized,	 the	
foundations	to	carry	this	forward	are	firmly	in	place.		As	already	explained,	the	consortiums	
stakeholder	 engagement	 and	 involvement	 is	 instrumental	 to	 the	 longevity	 of	 the	
consortiums.	 And	 it	 will	 be	 good	 if	 the	 Consortiums	 continue	 efforts	 to	 engage	 with	
stakeholders	 and	 further	 to	 include	 stakeholders	 from	 stakeholder	 categories	 that	 are	
underrepresented,	like	financial	institutions	and	the	locally	operating	NGOs.	The	consortiums	
must	clearly	define	the	services	they	want	to	provide	and	the	role	they	would	like	to	play	and	
consider	how	they	can	stimulate	the	demand	for	these	services.	Once	this	demand	is	evident	
it	will	not	be	too	difficult	to	generate	the	funds	to	support	the	continued	operation	of	the	
consortium.		
The	development	of	stakeholder	directories	for	specific	stakeholder	groups,	like	for	the	
agro-dealers	that	was	developed	by	the	Niger	CHSC,	is	an	example	of	a	service	and	function	
provided	by	the	consortium.	As	illustrated	by	the	Niger	CSHC,	the	directory	of	agro-dealers	
was	done	in	support	of	two	development	projects	and	there	will	be	many	more	that	will	find	
this	valuable	information.	
Another	 aspect	 to	 consider	 is	 formalization	 of	 the	 involvement	 of	 partners	 with	 the	
consortium.	The	status	of	partners	in	the	country	projects	was	somehow	clear,	but	this	will	
no	longer	be	the	case	once	the	project	is	finished.	The	consortiums	are	therefore	advised	to	
formalize	 these	 relationships,	whether	as	member	of	 the	 steering	committee,	as	 strategic	
partner	to	the	consortium,	as	member	of	the	consortium,	or	as	an	interested	stakeholder,	
with	a	definition	of	what	those	roles	entail	and	clarification	of	the	degree	of	engagement.	The	
consortiums	must	fight	for	a	more	central	role	within	the	national	agricultural	system.

Appendix	1:	What	is	a	stakeholder	and	what	is	stakeholder	
mapping	
Definition	of	a	stakeholder	
To	accurately	categorize	stakeholders,	it	is	important	to	acquire	a	unified	definition	as	to	
what	a	stakeholder	is	and	how	they	may	be	identified	and	mapped.	Deciding	on	the	definition	
that	will	be	used	for	identifying	stakeholders	is	an	important	choice	that	will	drive	your	entire	
stakeholder	management	strategy.	With	all	intended	purposes	of	the	WASHC	Project,	at	the	
end	of	this	document	is	a	culminated	list	of	definitions	on	‘What	is	a	Stakeholder’.	
To	define	what	a	stakeholder	is	for	the	soil	health	consortium,	it	is	important	to	highlight	
the	purpose	of	the	consortium,	which	is:	To	provide	a	platform	for	relevant	players	in	the	soil	
health	value	chain	to	rationalize	strategies,	technological	innovations	and	resources	aiming	
to	enhance	the	impact	and	delivery	of	services	to	farmers.	Thus,	in	light	of	the	endeavor	of	
the	WASHC	Project	here	is	a	proposed	definition	of	what	a	stakeholder	is		
Persons,	groups,	or	organizations	can	affect	or	be	affected	by	the	organization's	
actions,	objectives,	and	policies	(e.g.,	seed	and	trade	associations,	private	sector,	
NGO’s,	Universities,	farmer	organisations,	extension	officers,	government	
departments	and	researchers).		Who	are	actively	involved	in	the	project	or	whose	
interests	may	be	positively	or	negatively	affected	by	the	performance	or	completion	
of	the	project.	Stakeholders	may	also	include	entities	that	are	interested	in	the	
activities,	targets,	resources	or	deliverables	(e.g.	the	translation	of	research	findings	
into	information	products	and	extension	messages	and	the	coordination	in	the	
dissemination	of	technologies).		
Stakeholder	Mapping	&	Engagement		
Stakeholder	mapping	 and	 stakeholder	 engagement	 is	 crucial	 to	 achieving	 the	 project	
goals.	If	stakeholders	are	managed	well	they	will	actively	support	you,	however,	ignoring	the	
stakeholder	could	jeopardize	the	achievement	of	the	overall	goal	of	the	project.	
Project	 management	 methodologies	 and	
organizations	 approach	 stakeholder	 mapping	 in	
different	ways,	but	there	are	fundamental	principles	
and	 processes	 that	 can	 be	 drawn	 out.	 These	 core	
principals	 are	 distilled	 in	 Figure	 1.	 These	 are	 the	
principles	 of	 a	 proven	 4-step	 process	 that	 can	
dramatically	 improve	 the	 chances	 of	 success	 and	
they	include:	Identify,	Analyze,	Plan	and	Engage.

Stakeholder	Identification	
The	first	step	in	stakeholder	mapping	is	to	identify	your	stakeholders.	It	is	important	that	
the	 project	 team	 is	 brought	 together	 to	 list	 everybody	who	 is,	 or	will	 be	 affected	 by	 the	
project.	There	are	various	tools	and	techniques	to	achieving	this	feat,	as	explored	in	Figure	2.		
	
Figure	10	Stakeholder	Identification	options	
Brainstorming	is	a	great	way	for	identifying	stakeholders.		A	member	of	the	team	should	
be	elected	to	scribe	and	capture	every	name,	organization	or	type	of	stakeholder	that	can	
thought	of.	Alternatively,	one	could	give	everybody	a	pad	of	sticky	notes	and	ask	them	to	
write	each	stakeholder	on	a	post	it,	after	10	-	15	minutes	put	up	the	sticky	notes	on	the	wall	
or	on	flipchart	paper.		
Mind	mapping	is	also	a	useful	way	of	unlocking	your	creativity	and	helping	the	ideas	to	
flow.	 A	 member	 of	 the	 team	 could	 be	 elected	 scribe	 and	 can	 draw	 a	 mind	 map	 on	 a	
whiteboard	or	flipchart.	
Stakeholder	lists.	Generic	lists	are	a	good	starting	point	to	identify	potential	stakeholders.	
Examples	from	a	probable	stakeholder	identification	list	are	highlighted	in	Table	1.

One	may	be	able	to	refer	to	a	stakeholder	map	or	glean	stakeholders	from	project	plans,	PIDs,	
risk	logs	and	so	on.		
Organization	charts	and	directories.	Perhaps	the	first	place	to	 look	for	stakeholders	 is	
your	 company	 organization	 chart	 or	 directory.	 Interesting	 insights	 can	 also	 be	 gained	 by	
reviewing	LinkedIn	and	social	network	sites.	For	example,	use	Linked-in's	advanced	people	
search	to	look	for	stakeholders	by	company,	industry,	job	title,	and/or	seniority.		
Stakeholder	Categories.	If	it	is	proving	to	be	a	struggle	one	could	try	using	categories	to	
identify	potential	stakeholders.	For	example,	it	can	be	helpful	to	organize	stakeholders	by	the	
following	categories:		
• Users/beneficiaries;	
• Governance	(steering	groups/boards);	
• Influencers	(trade	unions,	the	media)	and		
• Providers	(suppliers,	partners).

Stakeholder	Analysis	(Influence	&	Interest)	
A	common	approach	to	analyzing	stakeholders	is	by	assessing	their	influence/power	on,	
and	interest	in,	the	Project.	Influence/power	refers	to	how	powerful	a	stakeholder	is	in	terms	
of	 influencing	direction	of	 the	project	and	outcomes.	Examples	of	 influence/power	can	be	
demonstrated	in	Table	2.

Interest,	 refers	 to	 those	 stakeholders	 whose	 problems,	 needs	 and	 interests	
are	priority	for	an	organization.	If	these	important	stakeholders	are	not	assessed	effectively	
then	the	project	cannot	be	deemed	a	success.	The	level	of	Interest,	given	by	an	organization	
to	the	stakeholders’	needs	and	interests	are	also	key	to	the	success	of	strategy	and	project	
development.	For	example,	these	sources	of	importance	can	affect	both	internal	and	external	
stakeholders.	 In	 the	examination	of	 stakeholder	 interest,	 it	 can	be	 summarized	 into	 three	
predominate	questions;	
• Which	problems	affecting	which	stakeholders,	does	the	strategy/project	seek	to	
address	or	alleviate?	
• Which	stakeholders	does	the	strategy/project	place	a	priority	on	meeting	their	
needs,	interests	and	expectations?	
• Which	stakeholders’	interests	converge	most	closely	with	the	strategy/project	
objectives?	
The	provision	of	answers	to	the	above	three	questions	will	enable	the	team	to	accurately	
strategize	in	their	approach	to	proper	stakeholder	analysis	and,	subsequently,	engagement.		
Often	the	process	of	identifying	stakeholders	will	result	in	a	long	list	of	individuals	and	
groups,	from	which,	what	is	found	is	that	the	list	of	stakeholders	can	be	sorted	into	clearly	
identifiable	groups	of	people	with	similar	interests.	Completing	an	interest	matrix	will	help	
the	 team	 develop	 a	 communication	 plan	 that	 is	 aligned	 to	 each	 stakeholder's	 focus	 and	
concerns.	
Once	 the	 team	 has	mapped	 the	 interests	 of	 their	 stakeholders,	 there	 is	 the	 need	 to	
prioritize	 them	 in	order	of	 importance.	Different	methodologies	 suggest	different	ways	of	
analyzing	stakeholders	some	complex	and	some	very	simple.	A	common	approach	is	to	map	
the	interest	and	influence/power	of	each	stakeholder	group	on	a	quadrant.	
The	WASHC	Project	Stakeholder	Mapping	&	Categorisation	Report

Page	25	
Using	 the	 quadrant	 to	 map	 the	 stakeholders	 enables	 the	 user(s)	 to	 place	 the	
organizations,	institutes,	farmers	etc.,	and	rank	them	in	accordance	with	their	involvement	
and	influence,	which	aids	in	the	provision	of	a	visualization	of	the	overall	importance	of	all	
the	 identified	 stakeholders.	 The	 placement	 of	 each	 stakeholder	 on	 the	 quadrant	 can	 be	
qualified	by	the	determinants	set	out	in	Figure	4.	Accompanying	Figure	4a	is	Figure	4b,	which	
provides	 a	 clear	 reference	 by	which	 each	 stakeholder	 could	 be	 ranked	 and	 subsequently	
mapped.		
	
Each	quadrant	can	be	analyzed	in	the	following	way.	In	a	clockwise	rotation	starting	from	
‘Meet	Their	Needs’:	
Quadrant	one	–	Meet	Their	Needs:	Stakeholders	placed	here	can	hold	potentially	high	
influence	but	low	importance	should	be	kept	satisfied	with	appropriate	approval	and	
perhaps	bought	in	as	patrons	or	supporters.	These	stakeholders	are	to	be	kept	satisfied.	
Quadrant	two	–	Key	Player:	Key	stakeholders	placed	here	have	high	influence	and	high	
interest	needs	to	be	fully	engaged	on	the	strategy/project.	The	style	of	participation	for	
stakeholders	needs	to	be	appropriate	for	gaining	and	maintaining	their	ownership.	
These	stakeholders	are	to	be	managed	closely.		
Quadrant	three	–	Show	Consideration:	Stakeholders	placed	here	can	be	of	high	interest	
but	having	low	influence	or	direct	power,	however	need	to	be	kept	informed	through	
appropriate	education	and	communication.	These	stakeholders	are	to	be	kept	
informed.	
Quadrant	four	–	Least	Important:	Stakeholders	here	have	low	influence	and	low	
importance	and	care	should	be	taken	to	avoid	the	dangers	of	unfavourable	lobbying	
and	therefore	should	be	closely	monitored	and	kept	on	board.	These	stakeholders	are	
to	be	monitored.

However,	 it	 is	 important	 to	 recognize,	 that	 the	map	 is	not	 static,	 changing	events	can	
mean	that	stakeholders	can	move	around	the	map	with	consequent	changes	to	the	 list	of	
even	the	most	influential	stakeholders.	
Planning	for	Stakeholder	Engagement	
The	key	to	successful	stakeholder	management	is	planning	an	effective	strategy,	with	the	
provision	of	a	focus	on	developing	an	actionable	stakeholder	management	plan.	Using	the	
above	 information,	 the	 next	 noticeable	 step	would	 be	 to	 draw	 up	 a	 communication	 and	
reporting	plan	that	documents	the	following	information:		
• The	information	requirements	
• The	frequency	of	communication	
• The	communication	provider	
• The	channel	of	communication	for	each	stakeholder	
To	 ensure	 that	 the	 appropriate	 messages	 are	 being	 corresponded,	 and	 to	 the	 right	
stakeholder	audience,	there	may	need	to	be	the	utilization	of	more	than	one	channel,	as	some	
people	won't	 read	emails	 that	are	 longer	 than	two	paragraphs,	 for	example,	but	 they	 just	
might	 listen	 to	 a	 podcast	 or	 login	 to	 a	 webinar.	 Table	 3	 highlights	 various	 stakeholder	
engagement	channels	that	could	be	considered.

Stakeholder	Engagement	
The	 efforts	made	 in	 planning	 for	 stakeholder	 engagement	 could,	 at	 this	 juncture,	 be	
pulled	 together	 to	 form	a	 finalized	and	definitive	stakeholder	engagement	plan.	However,	
finding	 a	 definitive	 definition	 of	 the	 term	 Stakeholder	 Engagement	 isn't	 straight	 forward.	
Various	definitions	are	available	driven	by	particular	schools	of	thought	or	philosophies	on	
organizational	performance,	change	and	sustainability.	
Some	definitions	see	Stakeholder	Engagement	as	a	process	with	the	end	goal	being	the	
success	of	the	project:		
The	WASHC	Project	Stakeholder	Mapping	&	Categorisation	Report			
	 W e s t 	 A f r i c a 	 S o i l 	 H e a l t h 	 C o n s o r t i a 	 S u p p o r t 	 P r o j e c t 	 	
	
Page	27	
Stakeholder	engagement	is	the	process	used	by	an	organisation	to	engage	relevant	stakeholders	
for	a	purpose	to	achieve	accepted	outcomes	(AccountAbility,	2008).	
More	 philosophical	 approaches	 emphasize	 inclusivity	 and	 imply	 a	 projects	mission	 or	
vision	of	continuous	stakeholder/societal	engagement;	
Today,	the	term	‘stakeholder	engagement’	is	emerging	as	a	means	of	describing	a	broader,	more	
inclusive,	and	continuous	process	between	a	project	and	those	potentially	impacted	that	
encompasses	a	range	of	activities	and	approaches,	and	spans	the	entire	life	of	a	project	
(International	Finance	Corporation,	2007).	
Or	indeed;		
Engagement	is	not	an	end	in	itself,	but	a	means	to	help	build	better	relationships	with	the	
societies	in	which	we	operate,	ultimately	resulting	in	improved	business	planning		 and	
performance	(Altria	Corporate	Services,	Inc.,	2004).	
Whether	 the	 intention	 is	 to	 engage	 to	 meet	 a	 specific	 goal	 or	 start	 a	 long-term	
conversation,	all	communication	methods	engage	stakeholders	in	some	way	or	another	and	
it	is	only	by	undergoing	and	completing	a	stakeholder	analysis	that	efficient	and	cost	effective	
approaches	can	be	chosen.	Figure	6	and	Table	4	emphasize	the	options	available,	with	regards	
to	approaches	to	stakeholder	engagement.

Table	4:	Stakeholder	engagement	approaches			
	
Each	 approach	 is	 a	 valid	 method	 of	 stakeholder	 engagement,	 but	 more	 suited	 to	
particular	stakeholder	types.	Pull	communications	are	one-way	and	depend	on	stakeholders	
deciding	to	access	the	information.	At	the	other	end	of	the	pyramid	partnership	engagement	
approaches	 give	 shared	 accountability,	 decision	 making,	 joint	 learning	 and	 actions,	 as	
described	 in	Table	4.	Push	communications	are	appropriate	 for	 low	 interest/low	 influence	
stakeholders.	Attempts	at	partnership	would	be	a	waste	of	resources	and	time.	Collaboration	
and	partnership	would	only	be	appropriate	for	key	players;	stakeholders	with	high	influence	
and	high	interest	who	could	bring	considerable	benefits	to	the	organization	or	project,	but	
conversely	-	if	not	managed	-	bring	considerable	risk.		
The	stakeholder	engagement	pyramid,	Figure	6,	should	be	utilized	to	review	the	team’s	
communication	plan	and	stakeholder	analysis.	It	is	important	to	ensure	that	the	engagement	
approaches	decided	upon	are	appropriate	to	each	stakeholder	group.	It	is	also	important	to	
make	certain	that	the	communication	plan	isn't	over	reliant	on	push	or	pull	communications,	
and	that	the	team	doesn’t	plan	to	spend	too	much	time	in	face	to	face	consultations	with	the	
less	influential	stakeholders.		A	consideration	that	could	arise	would	be:	whether	more	costly	
push	communication	methods,	like	printed	materials,	can	be	replaced	with	cheaper	options	
like	email,	online	surveys	or	online	newsletters.	Once	the	team	has	reviewed	their	plans,	all	
that	is	required	is	that	the	team	pull	their	work	together	to	form	the	stakeholder	engagement	
strategy;	 of	 which	 the	 stakeholder	 engagement	 strategy	 should	 contain	 the	 following	
sections:	
Purpose	of	the	document:	For	projects	to	be	successful,	a	clear	understanding	of	the	
stakeholders	and	an	engagement	strategy	for	managing	them	is	essential.		
Project	background:	A	high	level	overview	of	the	project,	mentioning	the	project's	
objectives,	key	deliverables,	budget	and	timescales.		
Introduction:	A	brief	explanation	on	how	the	team	carried	out	their	stakeholder	
analysis,	with	a	provision	of	an	overview	of	the	contents	of	the	teams’	stakeholder	
engagement	plan.		
Engagement	
approach	
Description	
Partnership	 Shared	accountability	and	responsibility.	Two-way	engagement	joint	learning,

Appendix	2:	Stakeholder	Categorisation	Index	
The	 categorization	 of	 stakeholders,	 both	 International	 Organization	 and	 National	
Organizations,	and	others	alike,	has	created	problems	with	regards	to	defining	the	types	of	
stakeholders.	This	is	because	not	all	scholars	subscribe	to	the	same	use	of	terms.	Some	of	the	
terminology	 applied	 to	 the	 field	 of	 international	 organization	 is	 little	 understood	 and	
sometimes	lacks	precision	for	example	international	organization,	transnational	interaction,	
transnational	 relations.	 	Thus,	 the	categorisation	of	 international	organisations	and	others	
alike,	brings	some	kind	of	disagreement	and	contradictions	depending	on	the	meaning	one	
ascribes	to	the	terms	used.	Another	challenge	in	categorising	is	overlapping	in	membership	
and	functions.	It	is	confusing	to	classify	an	organization	such	as	United	Nations.	Based	on	its	
functions,	 such	 organization	 may	 fall	 under	 specialized	 functions	 but	 also	 under	 general	
functions.	
From	the	above	discussion,	and	in	the	analysis	of	the	challenges	categorisation	presents,	
it	is	clear	that	no	single	principle	or	categorisation	model	can	be	adopted	to	precisely	place	
every	organisation	within	its	respective	domain	hence	every	move	that	aims	to	adequately	
categorise	organisations	should	adopt	or	put	into	consideration	the	context/purpose	in	which	
the	categorisation	model	is	intended	to	be	used	for.	In	this	case,	the	purpose	is	to	provide	a	
harmonised	list	of	categories	by	which	organisations	may	be	catalogued	by.	
Below	 is	 the	 list	of	proposed	categories,	definitions	and	examples	that	will	be	used	to	
define	 organisations,	 within	 the	 WASHC	 project.	 This	 list	 of	 categorised	 definitions	 was	
revised	once	to	make	it	more	appropriate	for	the	stakeholders	to	be	likely	integrated	into	the	
consortiums.		
Policy	Institution	(PI)	and	Regulating	Bodies	(RB)		
They	are	institutions	or	government	agencies	that	are	responsible	for	the	formulation	and	
implementation	of	government	policies.	It	should	include	organisations	(semi-governmental	
or	independent	bodies,	think	tanks	and	other)	that	deliberate	and	advice	on	policy	matters	
that	could	help	in	the	advocacy	and	or	policy	analyses.	It	may	also	include	regulating	bodies	
that	are	responsible	for	maintaining	regulations	and	quality	control.	Governing	bodies	at	the	
different	levels	of	government	(national,	district,	county)	should	be	included.	This	category	is	
often	referred	to	as	governmental	organisation	(GO),	but	we	want	to	include	organisations	
that	do	not	strictly	adhere	to	government	as	well.	Sometimes	for	people	belonging	to	this	
category	a	loose	reference	is	made	to	‘decision	makers’.		
Examples:	National	Assembly,	Parliamentary	commission	on	agriculture,	governors,	ministry	
of	Agriculture		
	
Non-governmental	Organization	(NGO)		
A	non-governmental	organization	(NGO)	is	an	organization	that	is	neither	a	part	of	a	
government	nor	a	conventional	for-profit	business,	usually	aiming	to	deliver	resources	or	
serve	some	social	or	political	purpose.	NGOs	may	be	funded	by	governments,	foundations,	
businesses,	or	private	persons.	It	is	a	citizen’s	based	organization	often	defined	by	its	
orientation;	in	the	context	of	the	project	referring	to	developmental	work,	oriented	at	rural	
development	or	health	(e.g.	nutrition),	or	referring	to	the	environment	(e.g.	land	
degradation)	or	other.	The	level	of	operation	may	be	local,	national	or	international.	Further	
distinction	could	be	made	based	on	the	orientation	and	level	of	operation	if	considered

relevant.	Sometimes	distinction	is	made	between	operational	NGOs,	which	implement	
development	projects,	or	advocacy	NGOs,	which	are	concerned	with	promoting	a	cause.	
Both	are	relevant	to	the	CSHC	(the	latter	in	our	case	could	be	classified	under	Policy	
Institution	(PI)	as	well.		
Examples:	SOS	Sahel	International	UK,	Care	International		
	
International	Agricultural	Research	Centre	(IARC)		
Under	the	recent	reform	of	the	CGIAR	with	a	new	development-impact	focused	strategy	and	
results	framework	(SRF),	IARCs	coordinated	by	a	legally	established	Consortium	and	funded	
by	the	CGIAR	Fund	Council,	play	an	important	role	in	generating	international	public	goods	
through	research	and	support	to	national	agricultural	research	systems	programmes	and	
capacities.	GFAR	is	a	member	of	the	CGIAR	Fund	Council	alongside	funding	agencies,	
national	institutions	from	around	the	world	and	representatives	from	Regional	Forums.	The	
collaboration	between	GFAR	and	the	CGIAR	is	exemplified	by	the	representation	of	the	
CGIAR	Consortium	in	GFAR’s	Steering	Committee,	and	its	collaboration	and	contribution	to	
the	organization	of	the	Global	Conferences	on	Agricultural	Research	for	Development	
(GCARDs)	that	have	replaced	the	former	CGIAR	Annual	meetings	and	GFAR	triennial	General	
Assembly.		
Examples:	International	Crops	Research	Institute	for	the	Semi-Arid	Tropics	(ICRISAT),	
International	Institute	of	Tropical	Agriculture	(IITA)		
	
Intergovernmental	organisation	-	Regional	Research	and	Development	(IGO-RRD)		
These	are	the	(sub-)regional	organisations	for	research	and	development	in	Africa.	The	sub-
regional	organisations	(SROs)	have	the	NARS	as	their	constituents	and	could	therefore	be	
classified	as	an	intergovernmental	organisation	to	some	extent.	FARA	is	the	umbrella	
organisation	of	the	SROs.	These	organisations	are	tightly	linked	to	the	African	Union	-	
NEPAD,	in	that	they	implement	the	research	agenda	of	CAADP		
Examples:	CORAF,	FARA		
	
Intergovernmental	organisations	-	Regional	Economic	Community	(REC)		
The	Regional	Economic	Communities	(RECs)	in	Africa	group	together	individual	countries	in	
sub-regions	for	the	purposes	of	achieving	greater	economic	integration.	They	are	described	
as	the	'building	blocks'	of	the	African	Union	(AU)	and	are	also	central	to	the	strategy	for	
implementing	the	New	Partnership	for	Africa's	Development	(NEPAD).	These	are	
intergovernmental	organisations	constituted	by	their	member	states.		
Examples:	Economic	Community	of	West	African	States	(ECOWAS)		
	
Private	Sector	-	Fertiliser	Industry	(PSI)		
These	are	industrial	organisations	and	businesses	involved	in	the	production,	blending,	
supply	or	distribution	of	fertilizer.	They	may	operate	at	an	international,	regional,	national	
or	even	local	scale.	Because	of	their	relevance	to	the	project	we	like	to	include	them	as	a	
separate	category.		
Examples:	YARA	international

Page	32	
This	refers	to	the	industry	that	produces	food	stuffs,	animal	feeds	etc.	They	play	an	
important	role	in	the	value	chain	and	provide	(potentially)	an	important	market	for	
smallholder	farmers.	We	believe	that	access	to	markets	provides	an	important	incentive	for	
farmers	to	adopt	more	sustainable	soil	management	practices.	On	the	other	hand,	the	
industry	might	be	interested	to	resource	for	the	raw	materials	domestically	(in	so	far	this	is	
not	already	the	case)	and	may	as	such	have	an	interest	in	promoting	sustainable	
management	of	soil	resources	or	might	be	interested	in	this	from	the	point	of	view	from	a	
corporate	social	responsibility.		
Example:	Food	Processors	International	Ghana;	Asasse	Pa	Natural	Food	and	Product	Factory		
	
Farmer	Based	Organisation	(FBO)		
Farmer	based	organisations	have	emerged	in	many	countries	as	key	providers	of	agricultural	
services	to	their	members.	The	increased	emphasis	on	the	role	of	civil	society	in	providing	
agricultural	services	(which	are	seen	here	as	private	and	public	agricultural	research	and	
extension,	and	capacity	building	for	community	development)	has	led	to	several	attempts	to	
strengthen	relationships	between	public	research	and	extension,	and	farmers	based	
organisations.	It	may	refer	to	farmer	organisations	that	operate	at	national	or	local	level,	
and	may	include	farmer	associations	or	farmer	groups,	which	is	a	more	informal	grouping	of	
farmers.	FBO’s	have	potentially	and	important	role	to	play	in	the	CSHC	as	intermediary	to	
the	farmer		
Examples:	Association	Des	Organisations	Professionnelles	Paysannes	(OPPA),	Farmers'	
Organization	Network	in	Ghana	(FONG)		
	
Information	Services	Providers	(ISP)		
This	category	includes	all	forms	of	enterprises	that	provide	information	services	to	farmers	
and	specialise	in	media	and	mass	communication.	Information	can	be	disseminated	through	
TV	broadcasts,	radio	and	podcasts,	video	and	mobile	services	to	farmers.	This	category	also	
includes	media	houses	and	news	agencies	(TV	stations,	newspapers).	They	are	important	
stakeholders	if	they	are	interested	in	providing	information	services	that	includes	
information	on	soil	fertility	management.	This	group	is	presented	as	a	separate	category	and	
not	integrated	with	the	Agricultural	Extension	Services	because	of	their	specific	nature	of	
their	activities.		
Examples:	Esoko,	Mfarms,	Farm	Radio	International	(e.g.	in	Mali)		
	
Institutes	of	higher	learning	and	training	(ATI)		
Of	interest	to	the	project	are	the	institutions	of	higher	learning	that	offer	training	in	soil	
science,	agronomy	and	agriculture	and	other	related	disciplines	and	that	may	conduct	
research	in	these	fields.	Also	included	are	training	institutions	that	provide	vocational	
training	that	is	on	a	more	practical	and	technical	level	on	agriculture,	crop	and	soil	
management,	etc.	In	general,	and	in	the	context	of	west	and	central	Africa	we	are	referring	
to	universities.	The	CSHC	are	interested	in	engaging	students	more	in	research	and	
generation	of	knowledge	that	is	to	the	direct	interest	of	both	the	CSHC	and	the	universities.	
The	universities	might	be	an	important	source	of	ISFM	data	and	information		
Examples:	Kwame	Nkrumah	University	of	Science	and	Technology	(KNUST)

Agro-input	Dealers	(AID)		
Taken	from	IFDC	-	Due	to	the	limited	presence	of	public	sector	extension	agents,	agro-
dealers	are	farmers’	primary	points	of	contact	for	agro-inputs	and	technical	farming	advice.	
Agro-dealer	development	programs	train	dealers	to	manage	their	businesses	effectively	and	
to	launch	and	manage	trade	associations	that	generate	additional	knowledge	transfer.	
Trained	and	certified	agro-dealers	with	access	to	financing	are	able	to	provide	their	farmer-
customers	with	more	information,	as	well	as	training	and	improved	follow-up	services.	
These	include	a	wider	range	of	agro-input	products,	technical	advice	on	the	safe	handling	
and	use	of	those	products	and	the	promotion	of	sound	agricultural	practices	through	field	
demonstrations.	In	addition,	the	establishment	of	organized	agro-dealer	networks	reduces	
the	distance	farmers	in	rural	areas	must	travel	to	purchase	inputs.	Generally,	we	refer	to	
agro-dealers	as	the	stockist	located	within	the	rural	area.		
Examples:	Ghana	Agri-Input	Dealer	Association	(GAIDA),	Association	of	Agro-Input	
Wholesalers	and	Retailers	of	Burkina	Faso	(AGRODIA)		
	
Donor	Organisation	(DO)		
"Donor"	is	the	act	of	providing	financial	resources,	usually	in	the	form	of	money	to	finance	a	
need,	program,	and	project,	usually	by	an	organization.	Many	research	and	development	
organisations	are	dependent	on	donor	organisation	for	funding	of	their	activities.	The	
funding	is	generally	provided	as	a	grant.	Funding	such	as	donations,	subsidies,	and	grants	
that	have	no	direct	requirement	for	return	of	investment	are	described	as	"soft	funding"	or	
"crowdfunding”.	Thus,	the	definition	of	a	Funding	Agency	is	an	organization	that	provides	
financial	resources	to	the	project.	For	the	consortia	the	donor	organisation	are	important	
stakeholders	because	they	often	steer	the	research	for	development	agenda,	and	initiatives	
that	originate	from	the	consortia	will	in	many	case	rely	on	donor	funding	to	materialize.	
Government	organisations	certainly	also	act	as	donor	or	funding	organisation	especially	for	
national	oriented	activities.		
Examples:	Alliance	for	a	Green	Revolution	in	Africa	(AGRA),	World	Bank	Institute	-	West	
Africa	Agricultural	Productivity	Program	(WBI-WAAPP).		
	
Micro	Finance	Institution	(MFI)		
A	financial	institution	is	an	institution	that	provides	financial	services	for	its	clients	or	
members.	Probably	the	greatest	important	financial	service	provided	by	financial	
institutions	is	acting	as	financial	intermediaries.	Most	financial	institutions	are	regulated	by	
the	government.	For	the	project	the	micro-finance	institutions	are	the	most	relevant	as	
these	are	the	ones	that	provide	credit	to	smallholder	farmers,	small	rural	enterprises	and	
the	rural	community	(e.g.	women).	Insurance	corporations	that	provide	insurances	for	
smallholder	agricultural	enterprise	are	also	included.	Many	of	the	micro-finance	institutions	
are	supported	by	development	programs	or	are	established	as	foundations,	rather	than	
these	being	commercial	private	sector	enterprises.	The	Ford	Foundation,	for	example,	has	
been	quite	instrumental	in	establishing	and	promoting	micro-finance	institutions	in	the	
West	Africa	region.	The	Hunger	project	provides	micro-credit	to	women	in	rural	areas.		
Examples:	Nigeria	Agriculture,	Cooperative	&	Rural	Development	Bank	(NACRDB),	Nigeria	
Agricultural	Insurance	Company	(NAIC),	Community	Development	Foundation	(CDF,	also	
Nigeria)

National	Agricultural	Extension	Service	(NAES)		
Extension	service	is	the	general	term	meaning	the	application	of	scientific	research	and	new	
knowledge	to	agricultural	practices	through	farmer	education.	The	field	of	'extension'	now	
encompasses	a	wider	range	of	communication	and	learning	activities	organized	for	rural	
people	by	educators	from	different	disciplines,	including	agriculture,	agricultural	marketing,	
health,	and	business	studies.	Whereas	the	extension	services	traditionally	were	the	domain	
of	the	government,	increasingly	NGOs	and	private	sector	provide	extension	services	and	
these	should	be	included	in	this	category.	We	also	include	like	including	the	‘Chambres	
d’Agriculture’	that	we	often	find	in	French	speaking	countries	and	that	have	a	role	in	
providing	information	services	to	farmers.	They	do	have	a	role	in	representing	the	interest	
of	the	agricultural	producers	and	could	be	grouped	under	the	farmer	based	organisations.	
However,	these	are	public	institutions	and	best	fit	in	the	NAES	category.		
Example:	Réseau	National	des	Chambres	d'Agriculture	du	Niger	(RECA)		
	
National	Agricultural	Research	Systems	(NARS)		
These	refer	to	the	national	agricultural	research	institutions.	There	may	be	several	institutes	
within	a	country	that	fall	under	the	national	system,	like	the	Crop	Research	Institute	and	the	
Soil	Research	Institute	in	Ghana.	All	these	should	be	included	in	the	NARS.		
Examples:	Savanna	Agricultural	Research	Institute	Ghana	(SARI),	Institute	d’Economy	Rurale	
(IER,	Mali),	Institute	National	de	la	Recherche	du	Niger	(INRAN)		
	
Civil	Society	Organisation	(CSO)		
The	Centre	for	Civil	Society	at	John	Hopkins	University	defines	a	civil	society	organisation	as:		
“Any	organisation	whether	formal	or	informal,	that	are	not	part	of	the	apparatus	of	
government,	that	do	not	distribute	profits	to	their	directors	or	operators,	that	are	self-
governing,	and	in	which	participation	is	a	matter	of	free	choice.	Both	member-serving	and	
public-serving	organisations	are	included.	Embraced	within	this	definition,	therefore,	are	
private,	not-for-profit	health	providers,	schools,	advocacy	groups,	social	service	agencies,	
anti-poverty	groups,	development	agencies,	professional	associations,	community-based	
organisations,	unions,	religious	bodies,	recreation	organisations,	cultural	institutions	and	
many	more.”	In	so	far	activities	of	these	organisations	have	a	bearing	on	rural	development,	
farmer	and	women	empowerment,	youth	employment	in	the	agricultural	sections	etc.,	and	
might	contribute	to	the	more	sustainable	management	of	soil	fertility,	and	in	so	far	not	
already	covered	in	any	of	the	other	stakeholder	categories	these	organisations	can	be	
grouped	as	civil	society	organisations.		
Examples:	Federation	of	Muslim	Women	Association	in	Nigeria	(FOMWAN)
