Engagement levels of participation

Information: one-way communication; stakeholders are informed of decisions or processes but have no direct input.
Dialogue: two-way communication; stakeholders are interested in engagement but may not yet be seen as central actors.
Consultation: authorities actively seek input from stakeholders who may not be highly mobilised but are key to the process.
Partnership: shared responsibility and co-decision-making; stakeholders co-create and co-own solutions with public authorities.
