Power Analysis Briefing Review of tools and methods

What are Power Analysis Tools?
Power analysis tools are used to identify the key decision-makers and others who have power over
a specific issue as well as people and organizations who can influence those people.

What do they do?
For governance advocacy, power analysis:
• Helps to map, reveal power relations, map stakeholder
relationships and identify possible channels of influence
as well as risks of conflict.
• Reveals hidden mechanisms of power that affect
marginalized groups’ participation
• Identifies the targets, allies, opponents and constituents
for advocacy.
