Question 1

What are stakeholders? How has the role of stakeholders evolved in recent decades?

Accepted Answer

Stakeholders are people who have a right to participate in the decision-making process. They have a direct interest in the specific project. They can include any public agency with management responsibilities connected to the given project or decision, local community members, industry representatives, Indigenous groups, and NGOs. In other words, stakeholders are all people and/or groups who could be significantly affected by a decision, and all parties who might intervene in the decision-making process to facilitate, block, or delay it. The traditional forum for public participation involved elected representatives consulting and then putting forth their constituents' views. Because more decisions of an increasingly complex nature had to be made, this form of participation was deemed inadequate. As a result, individuals and NGOs began pressing for increased public involvement, with the goal of moving higher up on the ladder of citizen participation.
