What are Power Analysis Tools? Power analysis tools are used to identify the key decision-makers and others who have power over a specific issue as well as people and organizations who can influence those people.
What do they do? For governance advocacy, power analysis: • Helps to map, reveal power relations, map stakeholder relationships and identify possible channels of influence as well as risks of conflict. • Reveals hidden mechanisms of power that affect marginalized groups’ participation • Identifies the targets, allies, opponents and constituents for advocacy.
