agroBRIDGES Multi-Actor Framework Engagement Data Analysis

The multi-actor framework employed in agroBRIDGES foresees the creation of a regional Multi-Actor Platform (MAP) in the 12 focal European regions and countries of the project (Beacon Regions) as well as a Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) at European level with a view to engaging stakeholders in the project’s activities.

In this way, this dataset contains the engagement analysis of the MAP and the SRG members that have been selected as active participants in the activities carried out in the frame of the agroBRIDGES H2020 project, focused on building bridges between producers and consumers, thanks to the agroBRIDGES Toolbox developed and other supporting activities organized throughout the project. To achieve project objectives, results from MAPs and SRG management have been tracked during the first half of the project, and will continue to be monitored until the end of the project, in collaboration with all Beacon Region Leaders and the SRG Manager.

In this first round of monitoring, with respect to the SRG, 20 stakeholders have been engaged, of which approximately 50% have had a high engagement, 30% a medium engagement, and 20% a low-to-none engagement. As part of the planned engagement analysis and based on the data provided by each of the Beacon Region Leaders, the initial and long-term number of MAP members, as well as the evolution in their level of engagement, have been monitored., getting a total of 179 MAP members currently engaged in the project. In a first evaluation, high engagement was generally achieved in approximately 80% of cases, with less engagement from some educational bodies and consumers.

The dataset contains:
