Figure 4.4 | Support Stakeholders Functions

The Support stakeholders utilize the communicated positions of the environment stakeholders to ensure all other stakeholders are fully informed. Consultation with other groups is of primary importance in order to conduct any supplementary work required to fully realize market goals and build the necessary capacity amongst all actors to pursue targets. This may include training, studies and quality standards. A significant portion of this work may be conducted for the entire region (e.g. standards), but other work will be localized.

The support stakeholder groupmay alsobe impacted by shocks related to policy changes within PSIs or RIs. After many years of support, some government funded PSIs have been asked to mobilize their own funding to support daily operation. Both PSIs and RIs are also being asked to support more sectors or reprioritize their work. These realities trigger policy changes that eventually impact support at the local and regional levels respectively.
