Community engagement is increasingly undertaken as it improves project outcomes, builds trust in organisations or reform processes, and supports transition to water sensitive cities.
Effective engagement can help communities learn and change behaviours; obtain input from people about what they want; and help build an involved and connected community.
Engagement programs should be designed specifically for the target audience, reflecting their level of knowledge, values and behaviours. Programs should incorporate a variety of engagement platforms to optimise connections within diverse communities.
Longer term engagement is often more effective than short-term programs, as trusted relationships are built and maintained.
