ABSTRACT

Based on the building-blocks assembled in Part I, this chapter provides a detailed outline of the questions, issues and challenges which need to be addressed when designing a multi-stakeholder process. The aspects we discuss and the suggestions we make are addressed. We hope the considerations help to clarify a variety of options and point to the crucial aspects which can make an MSP work or fail. 1 The chapter begins with some general considerations and is then organized according to five possible phases of MSPs. A number of issues to be addressed throughout such processes are considered at the end.
