actors, stakeholders and partners --- When planning an in depth engagement approach , it is beneficial to map out and describe the key 'partners' you have - as well as the stakeholders and actors ( who may also be partners - or not ) . It is important to know -for all those you are engaging with to achieve a common aim - what motivates them - interests them - their capacity to influence, access to decision makers etc..
