FAN 1.2.3 Supported actors to apply environmental, social and climate safeguards

Civil society, public or private actors: This includes a wide range of stakeholders such as civil society organizations (CSOs), public institutions, private sector entities, and other actors involved in governance and service delivery. Supported actors are those who have benefitted from the project either directly through Helvetas or indirectly through our implementing partners. This support can include capacity development, financial assistance, or in-kind contributions such as equipment, training, or materials. They are part of the primary stakeholders and actors important for the project to reach its goals. Consortium partners, service providers and third party collaborators are not included.

Read more about Partnership indicators in the Performance Indicator Handbook.

Type of Actor:

• Civil society organisation

• Private Sector

• Public Sector

Civil society organizations, public institutions, and private sector actors engaged in applying environmental, social, and climate safeguards.

• Project documents (training attendance lists, workshop reports, technical assistance records). 

• Records from supported organizations or institutions (if needed). 

• Surveys and interviews with supported actors (for feedback on quality and relevance). 

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project, whenever activities are completed. 

Register supported actors: Keep a clear record of each supported civil society, public, or private actor. Include details like their objectives, the activities they participated in, and the outcomes of those activities. Gather information through project reports, policy documents, and program records at each stage of the project. 

If resources are available, carry out follow-up surveys or interviews with the supported actors to understand how the support has impacted their ability to promote climate resilient development and improved ecosystems and/or biodiversity.
