COURSE DESCRIPTION:
As part of the 6 critical components we look to explore costs and benefits of public participation for the proponent, and all stakeholders; a full understanding of who stakeholders are, how to identify and reach them; applying the IAP2 Core Values for Public Participation to your entire process; understanding different technique formats – for sharing information, collecting and compiling information and bringing people together – when and why to use different techniques, technique role play and insights. The course draws these principles together with the IAIA Best Practice Principles and FasTips to hone participants' skills in effective engagement in impact assessment – planning for, delivering, and evaluating engagement in impact assessment.
Drawing on participants' own case study ideas, the course explores lessons learned, focusing on a specific reference case to highlight good practice approaches specific to impact assessment
The course is highly interactive, makes use of several core elements of effective public participation, and will be tailored to the participants’ background, regardless of their sectoral experience, and their need to apply international good practice standards in public participation for impact assessment.
Participants receive a training manual, technique guide, presentation material, and references for future use, drawing also on international good practice standards such as those of the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation
