Stakeholder analysis

D: Force field analysis is the most appropriate tool for this specific comparative analysis of positive vs negative stakeholder forces in a program context. Force field analysis is specifically designed to analyze and compare driving forces (positive/supporting forces) against restraining forces (negative/opposing forces). This tool: Helps identify and compare stakeholders who support the program (positive forces) against those who oppose it (negative forces). Evaluates the relative power, position, and influence of each group. Allows program managers to understand the balance of power between supporting and opposing stakeholders. Helps in developing strategies to strengthen positive forces and minimize negative ones. The other options are incorrect because: Sensitivity analysis (A) is used to determine which program variables have the most potential impact on outcomes. Stakeholder analysis (B) identifies and analyzes stakeholders but doesn't specifically compare opposing forces. Monte Carlo simulation (C) is used for quantitative risk analysis and probabilistic forecasting.
