Overview
Stakeholder support is critical for the success of short-term volunteer aid trips. Working responsibly and effectively with host staff is particularly important, but there are other potential stakeholders to consider. These stakeholders might be from other not-for-profits, NGOs, philanthropists, academic institutions, government agencies, lobbyists, or other interested groups. Investigating potential stakeholder support is a critical step in developing humanitarian aid interventions. It allows you to answer the questions: Who will implement the intervention strategies? How will you leverage and strengthen existing community resources? Who will ensure accountability and measure success?
