Stakeholder views Clause Samples
The 'Stakeholder views' clause establishes a requirement for the consideration or inclusion of input from relevant stakeholders in a given process or decision. In practice, this clause may mandate that the parties consult with, seek feedback from, or otherwise engage individuals or groups who have an interest in or may be affected by the subject matter, such as employees, customers, or community representatives. Its core function is to ensure that diverse perspectives are taken into account, promoting transparency and informed decision-making while helping to identify and address potential concerns early in the process.
Stakeholder views. While stakeholder views on the Klamath agreements can broadly be divided into those supporting the agreements and those opposed to one or both of the agreements, such a simple characterization may not do justice to the various motives, preferences, and specific interests of many of these groups. Although a majority of interest groups involved in initial settlement negotiations endorsed both agreements, reasons for support among these groups are varied and in some cases are likely to be contingent on specific parts of the agreements (e.g., guarantees related to water supplies, whether or not dam removal is provided for, etc.) going forward. Among those opposed to the agreements, reasons for opposition also vary widely. They include reasons ranging from perceived economic damages resulting from the agreements to the agreements’ overall lack of environmental protections or effect on implementation of existing laws. 41 Klamath Basin Coordinating Council, “Summary of the Klamath Basin Settlement Agreements,” May 2010, at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇%▇▇▇▇%▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇%▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇%▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇%▇▇▇-▇-▇▇.▇▇▇. 42 For example, see KBRA §§2.1, 19.1, 20.3.1, and 22.5. 43 The 2013 joint biological opinion for the operation of the Klamath Project concluded that the ongoing operation of the project as proposed by Reclamation is not likely to jeopardize the existence of federally listed species.

Among those supporting the Klamath agreements are all the parties listed as nonfederal parties within both the KBRA and the KHSA. For the KBRA, this includes 5 state agencies in Oregon and California, 3 tribes, 1 county (Humbolt County, in California), 25 parties related to the Reclamation Project, some off-project interests, and several other groups (including environmental interests). These same groups are also party to the KHSA.44 Other groups and individuals were not party to the agreements but have stated their support for them. These include, most recently, off-project irrigators in the upper basin who have agreed to support the Klamath agreements under the Upper Klamath Basin Agreement in Principle, signed...
Stakeholder views. The stakeholders interviewed during the primary research phase unanimously agreed that workforce skills were critical to the success of the lifelong learning sector. On this basis they identified the following ‘soft’ indicators of success and good performance within the sector: • responsiveness to the needs of individuals, employers and communities • up-to-date knowledge of current industry practices (for FE and WBL practitioners) • flexibility in the delivery of services • services which meet wider economic and social development needs. In practice, these potential indicators of success are particularly difficult to quantify and it would require specific techniques to be developed to ascribe any monetary ‘value’ to them as outcomes. In addition, other indicators identified by the stakeholders interviewed included: • In relation to FE and WBL, the achievement of good inspection grades and higher levels of student satisfaction, along with the delivery of qualifications by the sector to learners. Stakeholders also viewed practitioners’ engagement with continuous professional development as important. • In relation to CLD, the generation of social capital and social cohesion, and reductions in poverty and social exclusion were identified as critical. Other measures included community engagement with democratic processes, enhancing individuals’ confidence and self-esteem and more self-reliant and cohesive societies. However, many of these present similar challenges in terms of their identification and actual ‘measurement’. • Stakeholders from the LAIS constituency identified measures of success and performance in two areas: • increasing participation in and access to learning, knowledge and information • being central to communities and contributing effectively to the wider social inclusion and citizenship agendas. With a lack of a single set of well defined and universally tested performance measures (like the GVA) for the lifelong learning sector, it is very difficult to debate the productivity and competitiveness of the sector as a whole. For this purpose, this section highlights some of the performance indicators already in use in constituencies and in nations that can be measured, to provide an idea of productivity in these specific cases.
