A community can be defined as a
homogenous group of individuals bound
together geographically, politically,
culturally or by certain values, principles or
shared characteristics.
Steps for robust community engagement:
Assess the local context: Understanding the characteristics and complexities of the local landscape and use this information for strategic planning of community engagement.
Involve communities: Support and facilitation of the process of community-driven planning to enable communities to define their own goals, identify opportunities and assets they plan to utilise or share, and prioritise areas of potential engagement with the company and other local development actors.
Identify and categorise key stakeholders: Creation of a list of the individuals, groups, and institutions that could affect or be affected by any community engagement project. This step identifies and generates knowledge about individuals and local organisations in order to understand their behaviours, intentions, inter-relations and interests.
Project implementation: Identifying the best way to deliver a project in view of several variables, such as the objectives of community engagement, project timeframe, budget and local operating context.
Measure and communicate results: Monitoring and evaluation to use the information collected in future planning and communicating these results to all stakeholders including the community, the company and other development partners.
