IAP2: Good public participation results in better decisions
IAP2 – the International Association for Public Participation – is the preeminent international organization advancing the practice of public participation.
‘Public participation’ means to involve those who are affected by a decision in the decision-making process. It promotes sustainable decisions by providing participants with the information they need to be involved in a meaningful way, and it communicates to participants how their input affects the decision.
The practice of public participation might involve public meetings, surveys, open houses, workshops, polling, citizen’s advisory committees and other forms of direct involvement with the public.
IAP2’s mission is to advance and extend the practice of public participation.
IAP2 advocates on behalf of members and is building an international reputation for the public participation practice and profession. It supports international research and offers professional development training and services.
IAP2 members work in industry, civil society organisations, universities, government and more. They are involved in the public participation process by supporting clients, colleagues and citizens for improved decision-making.
See IAP2 Core Values Award Winners for successful examples of public participation in the decision-making process.
