Figure 1 – Steps involved in the analysis of SSC stakeholders

Adapted from World Bank and LFA approach.

2.1 Identification of all stakeholders involved in SSC

In this first stage, all stakeholders which may be affected or which can affect the deployment of the
SSC model are identified. The following steps were carried out in order to compile the list of key SSC
stakeholders:
 Initial list derived from the definition: agents that are interested, affected or that have power to
influence SSC.
 Validation of the list based on a general classification of stakeholders.

 Validation of the list with stakeholders that appear on the different reports from the FG‐SSC.
 Validation of the list with stakeholders that appear on the literature used for this report.
Based on those steps, the following non‐exhaustive list of SSC stakeholders has been compiled (in
no particular order):
a. Municipalities, City Council and city administration: They are responsible for city
management, and therefore they are the main promoters of SSC initiatives on each specific
city.
b. National and regional governments: They have remit on policies that can affect SSC
implementation.

c. City services companies: Would be implementing SSC solutions to increase city services
efficiency.

d. Utility providers: They are responsible for the deployment of some of the features of SSC
such as smart grid or smart water management.
e. ICT Companies (Telecom Operators, Start‐ups, Software Companies): Are the providers of
the global and integrated solutions, the city platforms, as well as the ICT infrastructure to
support SSC deployment.
f. NGOs: These are involved in all initiatives that can influence society and therefore are
considered a stakeholder in SSC, especially on the axis of social sustainability.
