This report aims to provide a structured analysis of a stakeholder assessment related to
sustainable animal productivity for livelihoods, nutrition, and Gender Inclusion in Mali. This
analysis is part of the CGIAR initiative SAPLING, with the primary goal of understanding and
identifying the role of various stakeholders, their potential contributions, and avenues for
collaboration to ensure the successful implementation of SAPLING’s innovation packages
(IP) and the desired outcomes of the initiative. This work aims at: i) Identifying wich relevant
Stakeholders are closely associated with each innovation package and the key actors
capable of contributing effectively at different levels and scales, ii) outlining how existing
platforms are evolving to incorporate new participants who can support the
implementation of the Multi-Stakeholder Innovation Platforms (MSIPs), Core of SAPLING’
ToC in Mali, and iii) supporting the design of the Behavior Change Communication (BCC)
plan through tailoring specific capacity development initiatives.
To conduct this stakeholder analysis, we employed the MACTOR methodological
framework, which is designed to assess stakeholders' strategies and their power dynamics
(Balance of power) in decision-making. This framework is particularly relevant for the
complex issue of sustainable animal productivity for livelihoods, nutrition, and gender
inclusion, which requires significant collective action. Our data collection method involved
a series of focus group discussions with primary stakeholders involved directly and
indirectly in the small ruminant value chain. During these discussions, we gathered
stakeholders' perceptions concerning the implementation of six innovation packages.
These perceptions were assessed and analyzed across different decision scales, taking into
account roles, interests, influence, balance of power, objectives, and stakeholders'
strategies.
The findings from this analysis are expected to suggest pathways and strategies to foster
collaboration and partnerships among stakeholders and catalyze potential alliances that
can drive the effective implementation of innovation packages, aligning with the
overarching outcomes of the SAPLING initiative in Mali.
