11. Stakeholder Mapping Stakeholder mapping is an important process that helps Peace Builders to understand different groups of people or members that can be involved in dealing with conflicts in the community. Stakeholders are important because they can support our work in peace building. Stakeholders are people and institutions that are interested or can be affected by the activities we do in the community. As Peace Clubs our stakeholders include; the traditional leaders, local authorities such as Councillors, District Administrators, Police, Agriculture extension Officers, Village Health Care workers. Other stakeholders include people such as headmasters, teachers, business people, church leaders, business people and respected persons in our communities. In stakeholder mapping, the following pyramid can be used to categorise or group different stakeholders. John Paul Lederach’s Multi-level Leadership Pyramid: source-: Lederach (2004). Task: In your groups, use John Paul Lederach’s Multilevel Leadership Pyramid to identify key stakeholders that you will work with at each of the three levels in your communities. In the case of Heal Zimbabwe Community Peace Clubs, the grassroots will be village stakeholders. At the middle level will be the council, and then the stakeholders at the top position will be at district level. 16 ©Heal Zim 2016
