It is important to consider how important social -cultural factors are represented among those involved in your study. Ensuring diversity and representation of key social-cultural identifiers among identified stakeholder and community groups will ensure that their voices, challenges, insights and so on, can be adequately included in your study. When identifying stakeholders and community members, consider how factors such as gender, age, level of education or socio-economic status, may shape the engagement of these individuals and add this to your stakeholder analysis.
