Stakeholder involvement is an essential part of any complete nuclear power programme. When?stakeholders are engaged, they can make known their views, work together to ensure those views are?addressed and considered, and understand the basis for a decision, which fosters mutually beneficial?and constructive relationships at the local, national and international levels.

The purpose of the event is to provide practical guidance and share experiences related to stakeholder?involvement and communication for nuclear power programmes in both operating and newcomer?countries, and to discuss the revised draft of the IAEA publication entitled Stakeholder Involvement?Throughout the Life Cycle of Nuclear Facilities (IAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-T-1.4).
