IWDA Stakeholder Perception Review 2022-2023

The objective of the Stakeholder Perception Review is to obtain anonymous feedback from 3 different stakeholder groups that engage with IWDA to share their perceptions of IWDA’s work – in terms of effectiveness, relevance, practice of its feminist and decolonial values and to verify its strengths and weaknesses. The findings of the research and the recommendations are to assist IWDA make informed decisions for areas of improvement as a learning organisation and contribute towards its annual strategic evaluation.

To give confidence to stakeholders to share their perceptions honestly with integrity all responses are treated as confidential and all identifiers have been removed including from the quotes in this report. Three different stakeholder groups were identified by IWDA: partners from across Asia and the Pacific, collaborators and resource partners (majority Australian based) with a total of 28 groups invited to participate. 10 organisations responded, 5 partner organisations, 3 collaborators and 2 resource partners were interviewed for this report. Though the sample size is small, it reflects geographical spread of perspectives, inclusive of diverse cross-cultural and cross-sectoral groups (feminist and women’s organisations, faith-based, media, philanthropic, development NGOs), size of organisations (community based, local/ umbrella NGOs, INGOs) and relationship history with IWDA. The feedback provides the basis for analysis from which common themes have emerged and where possible verified by other stakeholders.
