Stakeholder engagement and management supports the development of strong, constructive, and responsive relationships. Thus effective stakeholder identification, engagement and management should enhance project acceptance and ownership as well as strengthens the social and environmental sustainability and benefits of supported interventions. It is both a goal in itself–upholding the rights of citizens and others to participate in decisions that may affect them–as well as an effective means for achieving project outcomes, including those related to democratic governance, protecting the environment, promoting respect for human rights, and preventing and resolving conflict (UNDP,2017).
Corporate communication is defined as activities involved in managing both internal and external communications in a workplace–this can include internal presentations, staff newsletters, media releases for journalists, investor correspondence, social media and more. The aim of corporate communications is to create a favorable perception amongst stakeholders the business depends on, such as investors, employees, or the general public. Incorporate communications, there are typically three principal areas which are interdependent in ensuring that the organisation successfully communicates with all stakeholders. These are management communication, marketing communication, and organisational communication.
