Keys to Successful Stakeholder Engagement

The purpose of stakeholder engagement is to enable people to give their views to influence and be involved in organisations decisions.

Key elements of a successful stakeholder engagement process are:

• Define What to achieve from the Engagement Process?

• Who will be involved?

• When to be involved?

• How to engage stakeholders and communities?

• Review & Follow UP

• Lack of trust in government institutions
