EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Rural Enterprise and Economic Development (REED) project aims to enhance the ecosystem for rural entrepreneurship and to strengthen the market linkages of rural entrepreneurs, including smallholder farmers and producers. This Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) for the REED project has been prepared to establish a functioning platform for effective interaction and meaningful consultations
with potentially affected parties and persons, who have interests in the implementation, and outcomes of the REED project. With the conviction that an effective stakeholder engagement is a prerequisite for the smooth implementation of the project by building sustainable trust with project stakeholders, the REED project is committed to also engaging with local communities in project-related activities,
importantly, with rural entrepreneurs, and to soliciting their feedback on project design and implementation while simultaneously managing expectations of beneficiaries and interested parties about project outcomes.
