Stakeholder Management Framework
Stakeholder Engagement
Managing different stakeholders has become a core element of business strategies in many successful organisations. SALGA recognises that effective stakeholder management enhances its impact, mandate, and the overall profile of local government.
To achieve this, SALGA established a structured Stakeholder Engagement Programme aimed at maximising collaboration and strengthening delivery across all spheres of governance.
Government & IGR Bodies
National, provincial and local institutions forming SALGA’s primary governance ecosystem.
Civil Society & Social Partners
Community organisations, NGOs, advocacy groups and developmental partners.
Private & International Sector
Industry bodies, funders, research institutions and global cooperation entities.
Aims & Objectives
The programme seeks to develop a coordinated, coherent approach to stakeholder engagement — fostering collaboration, innovation and value creation that supports SALGA’s constitutional mandate, Five-Year Strategic Plan and annual business plans.
Sustainable stakeholder relationships must be mutually beneficial. SALGA therefore structures its engagements to ensure partners also derive value from their involvement.
Key Objectives:
Advance Local Government
Harness collective resources to drive sector priorities.
Capacity Building
Strengthen institutional capability across the municipal sector.
Policy Influence
Enhance SALGA’s role in policy development and advocacy.

Strategic Alliances

Knowledge Exchange
Promote learning and cooperative governance.
Stakeholder Categories
SALGA engages with a broad network of stakeholders across local, national and global spheres. This requires tailored approaches that maximise collaboration, innovation and delivery across different sectors.
