Multi-stakeholder dialogue for transformational change

Multi-stakeholder dialogue for transformational change

This guidance note offers advice on the principles and practices that contribute to effective design and implementation of multi-stakeholder dialogue (MSD) to address GEF priorities. The primary emphasis is on the use of MSD processes to contribute to regional or global coalitions for transformational change that integrate private sector actors, including multinational corporations, industry associations and private financial institutions.

The Meridian Institute undertook a background literature review examining these questions, with particular emphasis on the role and potential of multi-stakeholder dialogues processes at the regional and global scale.
