IAP2 Core Values of Public Participation
- Public participation is based on the belief that those who are
affected by a decision have a right to be involved in the decision- making process.
- Public participation includes the promise that the public's
contribution will influence the decision.
- Public participation promotes sustainable decisions by recognizing
and communicating the needs and interests of all participants, including decision makers.
- Public participation seeks out and facilitates the involvement of
those potentially affected by or interested in a decision.
- Public participation seeks input from participants in designing
how they participate.
- Public participation provides participants with the information
they need to participate in a meaningful way.
- Public participation communicates to participants how their input
affected the decision.
Equitable Engagement
- Public Relations ≠ Outreach ≠ Public Input ≠ Public Participation ≠
