The competing nature of resource uses and the municipality of resource users make natural resource management (NRM) planning complicated. The utility of a particular resource to the multi-stakeholders vary depending on the resource component that is of interest to them and the social, economic and environmental value that such resource generates. For instance the priority concern of upland farmers is to draw economic value from the forest lands for subsistence while others who are not economically dependent on the forest would prefer to preserve its use for its aesthetic value. Informed decision on the appropriate NRM strategy should be based on the nature and the extent of stakeholders' dependence on the resource, the state of the resource that is most useful to them and should take into consideration the social, economic and environmental implications of alternative programs that will be introduced. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA), generally done through public consultation is the methodology commonly used to generate such information. An alternative approach that was recently found to have greater application in NRM planning is stakeholder analysis. This paper present the result of stakeholder analysis conducted in the upland and coastal zones of Sibonga, Cebu [Philippines] for agroforestry and coastal resource management. It also shows the potentials of stakeholder analysis as a tool for soliciting stakeholders' perception about the utility of the resource and their perceived roles and responsibilities in NRM as well as the importance of multi-stakeholder participation in making decisions about appropriate NRM strategies.
