Where do we want to go? Have we arrived? Improving transparency, rigourand knowledge in complex multi-stakeholder planning processes

This research aims to address to knowledge gaps in complex multi-stakeholder planning

contexts. First, it involves better understanding engagement methods and value elicitation

techniques with the purpose of decision making in multiple urban/rural planning contexts.

Second, it will research and develop a participatory monitoring and evaluation (M&E)

framework to be applied in a First Nations context, specifically to address the lack of

knowledge and application of M&E in the ‘Comprehensive Community Plans’ that are been

developed across the province supported by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC).

This research project is of relevance to the partner since it will greatly enhance the current

planning approaches and methods it is using. It will also deliver higher impacts for the clients

of the partner firm and hence be of benefit to Canada. Finally it has the potential to positively

influence a broader professional planning audience, particularly First Nations.
