The community stakeholders are part of the planning and implementing process. There is proper communication between the team and the community stakeholders.
The participation of community stakeholders can be facilitated in the absence of a formal formative research by innovating other informal methods. Research teams seek relevant stakeholders’s views on proposed or ongoing research. Examples include stakeholder meetings, local events, focus group discussions, interviews, consultations, and suggestion boxes. They may involve individuals, existing organizations, local employer associations, local government or traditional committees, or other advocacy, charitable, cultural, political, religious or social groups.
According to the GPP guidelines, the term “stakeholder engagement” refers to the processes through which trial funders, sponsors, and implementers build transparent, meaningful, collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships with interested or affected individuals, groups of individuals, or organizations, with the ultimate goal of shaping research collectively.
A project is successful when it achieves it’s objectives and meets or exceeds the expectations of the stakeholders. Each stakeholder engagement has a unique purpose and is influenced by several factors. First and foremost, common languages and common processes would be generated and understood amongst leaders and team members. Leaders and team members should be involve in the planning process. The leaders and team members should be involved in routine capacity training where baseline understanding about stakeholder engagement would be focused. There should also be proper collaboration. It is also important to identify all stakeholders and their roles.
An approach I employed was to develop a concept note for team members and a reporting schedule.
HI everyone, I am Aisha Gambari from Nigeria. I am a member of health information for all (HIFA) network. I work with a preventive health company as the corporate project and research coordinator. I volunteer for an NGO working on a Mobile health research Lab involved in school health. I am a LeNNiB (Leaving No Nigerian Behind) champion currently undergoing a mentorship programme organized by NAHVMAS, AVAC & CASPER. This program prompted me to apply for the GPP online training. I’m looking forward to having a nice time here.
