TOOL | IAP2’s Public Participation Spectrum

 The Tamarack Institute is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to ending poverty in all its forms, for good. We support real people and invest in real communities for long-term change.


The IAP2 Federation has developed the Spectrum to help groups define the public’s role in any public participation process. It walks through each of the five stages: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate, and Empower and the public participation goal and promise to the public for each. The IAP2 Spectrum is quickly becoming an international standard.
