ABOUT THIS COURSE
Explores the rationale and practices of meaningful consultation under IDB policies. This five-week online course addresses mandatory requirements, international practices and recommendations to improve stakeholder participation in consultation processes.
This five-week online course, with an average dedication of 50 hours, offers an overview of the principles and content that must be present for a consultation process to be considered "meaningful." Since it is not feasible to discuss all possible circumstances in detail, the course reflects on the principles and gives general guidance, rather than a standard model or treating them as "one size fits all".
AUDIENCE OF THE COURSE
The Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement Course (MuSE) is primarily intended for licensing agents and the environmental and social specialists on project teams who review and approve Environmental and Social Impact Assessments. The course is intended to provide guidance to public sector authorities and staff responsible for consultation and stakeholder engagement in potentially high-risk investment projects. Minimum technical requirements to be met by the participant: • Office package domain (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and Acrobat software for viewing and downloading documents. • Be an advanced Internet user able to search, access videos, participate in groups and discussion forums, etc. • Own and manage a personal email account to receive notifications and be informed of course developments. • Complete the Navigation Activity in the Classroom. • Excellent command of English, both written and spoken
