Stakeholder mapping - interest and influence matrix 

The tool helps you identify the most important stakeholders who are directly and indirectly engaged in the different stages of a specific supply chain. It also help you identify specific actors who play a role within the hotspots of food loss and waste (FLW), and the critical loss points that have been identified in previous stages of your assessment.  

With the tool you can gauge the level of interest/ priority of each specific actor in reducing FLW. In addition, the tool can be used to assess the level of influence/power that the different stakeholders have to reduce FLW in the supply chain. 

Finally, using the tool you can position the stakeholders in one of the quadrants of the interest and influence matrix and use insights to design your stakeholder engagement strategy to accompany your FLW intervention.

What type of insights does the methodology generate?

• Which stakeholders should be actively engaged in reflecting and co-designing FLW reducing solutions, and in the process of rolling out and implementing the FLW reducing intervention?
