Stakeholder engagement

Stakeholders are vital to the success of all NFM projects. These can include a group, an organisation, a community or an individual. This topic brings together any material related to stakeholders such as stakeholder engagement principles and techniques, project management structures and information from intermediaries. It can also include a mix of experiences and lessons learnt from the view point of a stakeholder.
