Sharing expectations, demands, and requests from stakeholders enables the monitoring of how these comments have been reflected in decision making and strategic planning processes. This practice also permits follow-up, i.e., observing if these plans have been realized through performing activities and allocating resources. If this process is performed effectively, it can be considered as a meaningful participation process.
