This article presents a matrix tool that facilitates a systemic view, both for planning and evaluation purposes, of the roles and interactions between key stakeholders in community‐based mental health programs. The tool emerged from a community mental health initiative centered on natural caregivers, that commenced in 1995 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and involved the Latin American community, social agencies, and health institutions. The article describes the Latin American Community‐based Mental Health Initiative and exemplifies the use of the stakeholder matrix tool. The purpose of the tool is to assist community‐based initiatives to explicitly examine, on an ongoing basis, roles, interactions, and areas of tension between its stakeholders. The lack of this examination undermines the possibility for community‐based initiatives to overcome the many challenges they face. The stakeholder matrix tool offers a relatively straightforward structure from where to initiate this process, be it from a planning and/or evaluation perspective. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
