Consultation and Communication

Regular consultation with stakeholders promotes awareness about an EMB’s operations and allows stakeholders to directly advise the EMB of their assessments of its performance and suggest potential improvements. These consultations may be regular or event driven, mandatory or voluntary, structured or informal. There is a detailed discussion of EMB communications with stakeholders in Chapter 8 of this Topic Area.
