186 ITU‐T's Technical Reports And Specifications taken to ensure that the process may needs to be reviewed, updated and monitored continuously. Stakeholder process may even become “exclusive” and privileged groups and the large number of social segments and rights holders who are organized within a formalized group may be excluded from the process of SSC establishments.24 To promote effective stakeholder engagement, there are common guiding principles for effective stakeholder engagement that facilitate this process: The consultative process should recognize diversity of stakeholder and must include a wide range of relevant stakeholders at national, sub‐national and local levels. These consultations must be conducted with transparency in mind along with timely access to required information. The relevant stakeholders should have prior access to the information before the consultative process starts. Consultations should be conducted with the aim of building consensus and should facilitate dialogue and exchange of information. Impartial, accessible and fair mechanisms for grievance, conflict resolution must be established before the consultative process.25 3.2.1 Core values of stakeholder participation Given the apparent pitfalls of the stakeholder engagement progress, it also is essential to outline the core values of principles to be followed during stakeholder participation. These core values include: All the identified stakeholders should be allowed to a stand on all decisions about SSC based actions that could affect the life of the inhabitants. The contribution of each stakeholder will in principle be heard and will influence the final decision. Stakeholder participation should include communication and recognizing the needs and interests of all participants including the decision makers themselves. Stakeholder participation would provide the participants with the required information needed to contribute to the policymaking process in a meaningful way. Stakeholder participation seeks out and facilitates the involvement of actors either likely to be affected by the decision making process or those actors interested in contributing to the process. Stakeholder participation would also include communicating to the participant how their input affected the final decision making process.26 ____________________ 24 Strengthening UNEP’s Legitimacy: Towards Greater Stakeholder Engagement.
