Enabling Change from Country to Local Levels - Flipbook - Page 3
To enable effective policy
implementation and execution at
the local and national levels,
downstream-to-upstream
dialogues are crucial in identifying
and addressing knowledge gaps
and barriers. Such dialogues also
facilitate the flow of knowledge,
which, in turn, enables the
development of context-specific
solutions that address local needs
and resources.
The identification of intervention
points for country policy
implementation and local
execution is predicated on the
assessment of the knowledge gaps
and barriers of stakeholders.
Stakeholder selection is based on
the identification of these
knowledge gaps and barriers.

INFLUENCE*
The development of strategic
global policies is structured around
the involvement of upstream,
midstream, and downstream
stakeholders (I, II, III, and IV), each
of which play a distinct roles in the
policy-making process. The
selection of these stakeholders is
based on their level of influence, as
determined by their global soft
power, and their economic power,
as measured by their GDP.
