THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY COMMITTEES

Advisory committees are an important tool for stakeholder involvement in a ‘collaborative’level process, as defined by IAP2’s Public Participation Spectrum. This paper identifies challenges involved in setting up and running these and explores a set of principles that have underpinned the successful operation of a number of advisory committees associated with environmentally-sensitive projects. It concludes with a reflection on the broader purpose of collaborative processes that go beyond the project-specific aims, and can include strengthening a sense of community and connectedness between stakeholders and their capacity to address future challenges themselves.
