Before engaging stakeholders, it is important to map their prior consultation experience before deciding on a plan of action on how to engage them. This may be due to poor prior experiences that may have generated tension, fatigue or low level of support from stakeholders.
The aim of engaging stakeholders is to identify and prioritize the Policy Issue(s).
