Stakeholder involvement is the process of involving those who are affected by and thus have an interest in adaptation throughout the policy cycle. This includes formulation, implementation as well as monitoring and evaluation of adaptation policies. In its basic forms stakeholder involvement relies on the exchange of information among governmental and other interested stakeholders. In-depth involvement is a communication and collaboration process that explicitly seeks to identify and to clarify the various interests at stake, with the ultimate aim of producing well-informed policies that can be implemented in practice. Stakeholder involvement has been seen to be an integral part of policy development, implementation and monitoring and evaluation (IPCC, 2014).
