Listen to the presentation (RealAudio player needed)

Stakeholder involvement is based upon the belief that expertise does not lie solely with program professionals. Stakeholders are persons or organizations that have investments in the content of a program, or in the dissemination and evaluation of a program (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1999). Over the last several years the interpretation of stakeholder involvement has changed as programs have focused not just on individuals and families, but the broader ecology including neighborhood, workplace, schools, places of worship, communities and the society.. Stakeholders offer important insight into each phase of program planning, implementation and evaluation.
