Expert-based stakeholder mapping and engagement strategies for six invasive non-native species case studies in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 2021

Nineteen experts working on six case studies received individual stakeholder spreadsheets based on the file "INNS-ExampleStakeholderSpreadsheet.csv", and were instructed to complete them independently following the guidance provided in the file "INNSStakeholderMapping-Instructions&Guidelines.docx".

After two facilitated virtual workshops to discuss and revise the results (2021), coupled with two rounds of updating the individual stakeholder spreadsheets following the discussions and workshops, we produced consensus stakeholder spreadsheets for each of our six case studies, and classified each stakeholder into four categories based on their level of influence and level of interest: "context settlers", "crowd", "key players", and "subjects". The final, agreed consensus stakeholder spreadsheet can be found in the file "INNS-StakeholderDatasetComplete.csv".

Based on these consensus stakeholder spreadsheets, the experts developed stakeholder engagement strategies tailored to each of those four types of stakeholder following the example provided in the file "Example-EngagementStrategies.pdf".
The final, agreed lists of stakeholder engagement strategies can be found in the file "Consensus-EngagementStrategies.csv".

All data have been anonymised to preserve stakeholder privacy and for the purposes of data sharing. All data were curated and double-checked again April-May 2023.
