Provision of information is used throughout the policy processes for practically all stakeholder groups. In the development and implementation phases, information has also been gathered extensively from different stakeholder groups and consultations have been used for most stakeholder groups except for the general public. In the implementation and monitoring and evaluation stages, anything beyond consultation is relatively rare. Few countries report active involvement, partnerships or empowerment in any stage for stakeholders outside national and sub-national levels of government (Figure 2.13, Figure 2.14, Figure 2.15). Those that do, report slightly more empowerment of private sector and scientific community stakeholders in the implementation than in the development of policies.
