In this lecture
- Design a consultation that surfaces local priorities
- Avoid consultation fatigue
- Record input in a form planning can use
The divisional secretariat already knows the answer
Divisional secretariats hold local knowledge no national dataset carries - which roads actually flood, which communities were already relocated once, which measures were tried and abandoned. A localisation exercise that skips this consultation rediscovers, slowly and expensively, what a two-hour meeting would have surfaced.
One good meeting beats five token ones
Local officials asked to attend a fourth consultation on the same plan in a year give a fourth-rate answer. A single, well-prepared session with clear questions and visible follow-through earns better input than a round of box-ticking visits.
