I think that Richard makes a good point about ruling out some stakeholders simply because they may not hold the characteristics that are needed at a given moment. Something that I left out in my post is that we do try to think about how to maintain a presence in communities/populations that are not the focus of a current study. While it’s important to maintain a presence and allow stakeholder involvement from these groups during down-time due to politics, we also want to remain ethical and don’t want already vulnerable populations to feel used.
