Communication for Participatory Approach and Transparency to Development Actions and Policies
See Project planning
Once appropriate stakeholders have
been identified and measures taken to ensure their involvement, the next question to
answer is how do stakeholders engage in participatory planning and decisionmaking? This
section documents approaches that sponsors and designers have used to collaborate with
other stakeholders in this process. Participatory planning and decisionmaking should start
by creating a mood for learning rather than plunging directly into problem solving. The
learning phase then sets the stage for strategic and tactical planning. The strategic
planning stage in turn generates broad directions and priorities, which are
operationalized into detailed implementation actions during tactical planning.
