Developing Constituent Consultation/Relationship • Develop means of initial contacts • Collectively develop goals and objectives of government consultation • Develop process for constituent partnership, participation, and empowerment • Formalize meetings w/constituents • Periodic evaluation of relationship
Developing Government Consultation • Define long-term agenda • Identify relevant agency/department • Identify relevant specialized body • Make collective contact • Formalize meetings w/government • Periodic evaluation of relationship
Points of Discussion • On what principles should the dialogue be built? • How best to build NGO network? • How best to contact and involve constituents? • How best to interact with government bodies? • How best to evaluate work?
