    great observation Sylvia. my opinion is with a good stakeholder engagement plan; targeting stakeholders at different levels who are relevant to the trial, it will be easy to get the community to participate in a trial without appearing like you are inducing them.

    indeed, not a “one off” activity. and I imagine the whole essence of stakeholder engagement is too build concesus on trial activity. it is important that research teams are not seen to disagree with stakeholders…otherwise it loses meaning why you have contacted them in the first place

    Thanks Neetha, i think I needed to hear this from a community liasons specialist because I was getting a little confused reading the three discussions. This is the beauty of undertaking this course.

    this is an interesting question because personally i don’t undertake the monitoring function. i am more involved in the implementation part. however i suggest you can develop indicators such as the numbers of stakeholder meetings you have conducted in a given period. numbers of members who have attended and their contributions in a timeframe.

    You can mix in some qualitative evaluation say, conducted some key informant interviews so those individuals tell you exactly how they find the engagement process. i hope this helps

    I agree with you Marble. indeed on one of the projects we have among Female sex workers, one of the CAB members is a police man who has helped a lot when cleints are imprisoned.

    the other approach would be to collaborate with local NGOs dealing in human rights advocacy. these too can be of great help when such comes up.
