Strategic Direction 1 - A New Model

Strong international and strong regions

Recommendation 1

IAP2 adopts new language to describe the our future organisational model (ie we use International to describe the global overarching body and we use regions to describe the country or regional bodies).

Recommendation 2

IAP2 has a strong international and strong regional organisational structure that can deliver that vision and work to advance the practice of P2/ engagement around the world.

Recommendation 3

International serves as the body for collaboration among the regions, joint efforts that advocate for the profession and best practices for public participation/ engagement in international settings.

Recommendation 4

Regions focus on supporting all members, promoting the practice, country-specific advocacy, IAP2 trainings, and their own training offerings.

Recommendation 5

The definition of IAP2 regions will be flexible. A region can be geographical (ie a country or series of countries or sections of countries. Regions can also be non geographical ie based on language, culture or other identifier).
