Foundation for Strategic Planning and Implementation: Resource mapping lays the foundation for strategic planning and provides a benchmark from which to measure progress over time,

Catalyst for Partnership: Leaders can see common interests and organizational links which can motivate them to strengthen or form new partnerships.

Organizing and Motivational Tool for Implementation: Resource mapping is a tool to assist in engaging stakeholders in development. The mapping team members often become the cornerstone of future development activities.
