Power Mapping is a visual method for strategically analyzing actors, relationships, and dynamics of influence. It helps identify the right target individuals or institutions — those who actually have the authority to make or shape decisions — and reveals through which pathways and allies one can gain access to them or build pressure on them.
Unlock-hypothesis
Power Mapping strengthens strategic planning, fosters effective alliances, and increases the political relevance of one's actions — by making visible where your own expertise and engagement can have the greatest impact.
