This Briefing note is designed to introduce government project officers responsible for large-scale projects in the natural resource management sector (including agricultural development, mining, hydropower, rural infrastructure and biodiversity conservation) to a new approach to involving the public in decision-making. This approach has evolved via a process of “learning by experience” from development projects world-wide and is commonly known as Public Involvement (PI) - sometimes also referred to as Public Participation or even Public Consultation. PI is now widely accepted as a “mode of operation” by most international donors (development partners), non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and increasingly by the private sector.
