Problems and Purpose
The Multistakeholder Group Process is a very broad category of participatory method and is generally used to describe processes which seek to consult those with a direct stake in a proposal such as the drafting of a new law or the planning of a new urban area.
While multi-stakeholder group processes vary in form and function to a great degree, the Wageningen University's Multistakeholder Parternships guide identifies the follow as common traits among multistakeholder initiatives:
- "The involvement of two or more different parties
- A voluntary and collaborative nature
- A common purpose
- Sharing risks and responsibilities
- Understanding that all participants will both contribute and gain something
- The conviction that working with diverse actors will achieve more than working alone."[1]
