Best practices

Information sharing

What are the goals of information sharing?

Who is the audience?

How can the audience access information?

What is the capacity of the audience (language, literacy, technical competence)?

Are there privacy issues?

Is the information sensitive?

What have stakeholders indicated they find important and useful in terms of information content and methods of information sharing?

What other modes of engagement should be used in combination with information sharing?

All material information should be shared in a timely manner.

The target audience should be able to access information and be able understand it.

Material information, particularly with respect to the risk of adverse impacts should be provided in a written form so that community members can share it with experts of their choosing.

Information should be accurate and objective with explanation of any uncertainties.

Provision of information should not violate privacy or generate risks for stakeholders (such as security risks or risks of retaliation in hostile or repressive contexts).

Upon provision of information stakeholders themselves should be consulted to help determine what information is most useful to them and in what form to avoid information fatigue.

Information sharing should generally be used in combination with other modes of engagement (e.g. consultation).
