Apply planning tools


Stakeholders must understand how they are being involved, how the information they provide will be used and what opportunities they have to influence decisions. It is also important to consider the scope of the issues that stakeholders will participate in defining and solving. When designing the engagement, it is valuable to take into account the stage at which the engagement is occurring in terms of the policy making process, what decisions have already been taken and what positions are already fixed. It may be that that a particular engagement activity, though very participatory in itself, is not effective or satisfactory for the participants because the scope is too constrained and there is no opportunity for developing creative solutions.
