Quality Policy Principles: Inclusiveness

Benefits:

  • Inputs from stakeholder groups, representing all the various constituents, provide different perspectives on local, regional and international needs. This helps ensure that the developmental approach required to establish and maintain an appropriate QP/QI system can correctly balance public‑funded CA with what can and should be provided by the private sector for a particular period.
  • The same constituents can also provide important feedback on what is required to ensure that the CA services offered by national and regional QI institutions continue to meet the needs of the intended users and consumers.
  • Stakeholder inputs can be used to identify opportunities to educate various local communities, and potential users, on the benefits for them of a QP/QI system. Such communication activities should also be used to inform subsequent QP/QI monitoring and review processes.
