  This chapter addresses the question of who benefits from forecasting, using
Forecasting for Social Good as a motivating framework. Barriers to broadening
the base of beneficiaries are identified, and some parallels are drawn with
similar concerns that were expressed in the Operational Research literature
some years ago. A recent initiative, called Democratising Forecasting, is
discussed, highlighting its achievements, challenges, limitations and future
agenda. Communication issues be-tween the major forecasting stakeholders are
also examined, with pointers being given for more effective communications, in
order to gain the greatest benefits
