Full-Scale PIA – Preparatory phase
This is Phase 2 of the five-phase PIA process.
The purpose of this phase is to make the arrangements needed to enable the critical Phase 3 to run smoothly.
The suggested deliverables are a stakeholder analysis, a consultation strategy and plan, and the establishment of a PIA Consultative Group (PCG).
The following tasks are suggested:
- Further articulate the stakeholder analysis. This builds on the work previously undertaken in order to ensure that all relevant groups have been identified.
- Determine a consultation strategy. This ensures that discussions with stakeholders are effective
- Form a PIA Consultative Group (PCG). This comprises representatives of stakeholder groups.
- Distribute the project background paper to the PCG. This ensures that the PCG members can understand the nature of the proposal.
