This paper was commissioned in 2010 to help to initiate a process to share lessons on stakeholder participation practices and prepare an enhanced communication platform in the light of countries beginning to engage stakeholders in domestic REDD+ decision-making processes. The paper includes: a) A preliminary set of common terms relating to stakeholder participation (Section 3); b) A framework for categorizing and describing different types of stakeholder engagement processes necessary to facilitate sharing of relevant experiences (Section 4); c) A discussion of the types of information that seem most relevant for practitioners to share (Section 5); and d) Next steps for developing a comprehensive and sustained approach to sharing information and experiences between and among partners, and identifying good practices (Section 6).
