RECAP

• Stakeholder engagement is a key element of RRI.
• But you need to reflect: what are my objectives? Do I have the right resources?  What is the internal commitment? Are there also risks?  What methods and tools can I use?
• The next step is the identification of stakeholders. Is there a fair presentation of all stakeholders (reflect, for example, on the gender dimension). The subsequent step is mapping (consider interest and power/influence) of the stakeholders.
• It takes time to build trust, so start early with stakeholder engagement.
• The actual engagement process requires careful preparation and implementation, we included a number of tips.
• The action plan is also important for further reflection.
• Stakeholder engagement is a dynamic process, reflect on and update your action plan accordingly.
