Why is it needed?

Stakeholder engagement is a key regulatory tool through which citizens and stakeholders give their feedback and views on policies, plans, proposals, laws, products, projects and other options presented by the government or any organization. The latter can no longer choose if they want to engage with stakeholders or not; the only decision they need to take is when and how successfully to engage.

Risks of overlooking this principle include:

• 
  Lack of commitment to the policy/project.
• 
  Increased incidence of change requests.
• 
  Lack of delivery of stakeholder expectations and benefits.
• 
  Plans built on assumptions and failure to deliver what is really needed.
• 
  Overlooked project interdependencies, dependencies and concurrencies.
• 
  Increased reworking, delays and quality issues.
• 
  Challenges of different decision makers, competing priorities, resource constraints, and disparate data and opinions.

Thus, engaging with stakeholders early, informing them, listening to their views and being prepared to address valid concerns has become critical to success.
