ACBP activities have increased hub’s engagement with relevant stakeholders

According to the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard, Stakeholders are those groups who affect and/or could be affected by an organization’s activities, products, or services and associated performance. The impact assessment further measured the involvement and engagement of hubs with relevant stakeholders within their respective communities. The ACBP activities have stirred up and promoted engagement opportunities between hubs both internationally and locally. 23% of hubs reported to have engaged with a co- hub mainly for the purpose of collaboration and implementation of new projects. 19% named Government and development organizations as one of their stakeholders. Also, engagement with educational institutions has been encouraged. Other stakeholder categories include bilateral organizations.
