Community Engagement Strategy

A Community Engagement Strategy outlines an organization’s approach to building and maintaining positive relationships with the local communities affected by its operations. It typically includes an assessment of community needs, concerns, and expectations, as well as a plan for ongoing communication, consultation, and collaboration with community members. The strategy may also include specific initiatives or programs to address community priorities, such as local hiring, skills training, or infrastructure development. Community Engagement Strategies are often used by organizations in industries with significant local impacts, such as mining, oil and gas, or renewable energy development, to build trust, reduce conflict, and create shared value.
