Community Stakeholder

A community stakeholder is any individual, group, or organization that has an interest or effect on a community or is affected by its actions. This includes residents, local businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and institutions like schools and hospitals. Stakeholders contribute to decision-making and are impacted by policies, projects, or initiatives within the community. Their involvement helps ensure that development efforts meet local needs, promote collaboration, and foster a sense of shared responsibility for the community's well-being and growth.
