The Participatory Planning Process

The Participatory Planning Process involves including different community members and stakeholders in shaping decisions about development or projects that affect them. It aims to gather diverse ideas, preferences, and concerns through open dialogue, workshops, or consultations. This collaborative approach ensures that plans reflect the needs and aspirations of those impacted, fostering transparency, ownership, and better outcomes. Overall, it democratizes planning by empowering communities to actively contribute to shaping their environment and future.
