1 Identify stakeholders

The first step in stakeholder engagement is to identify who are the relevant and affected parties for your WTE project. Stakeholders can include local communities, government agencies, waste generators, waste collectors, energy consumers, investors, NGOs, media, and others. You need to map out their interests, expectations, concerns, and influence on the project, and prioritize them according to their importance and urgency. You can use tools such as stakeholder analysis matrix, power-interest grid, or stakeholder mapping to help you with this process.

2 Communicate clearly

The second step in stakeholder engagement is to communicate clearly and transparently with your stakeholders. You need to establish a communication strategy that defines the objectives, messages, channels, frequency, and feedback mechanisms for your WTE project. You need to tailor your communication to suit the needs and preferences of different stakeholder groups, and use appropriate language, tone, and format. You need to explain the benefits and risks of your WTE project, and address any misconceptions, myths, or fears that may arise. You also need to listen and respond to the feedback and questions from your stakeholders, and incorporate them into your project design and decision-making.

3 Involve stakeholders

The third step in stakeholder engagement is to involve stakeholders in your WTE project. You need to create opportunities for stakeholder participation and collaboration, such as workshops, surveys, focus groups, site visits, or advisory committees. You need to ensure that the participation process is inclusive, representative, and respectful of the diversity and views of your stakeholders. You need to provide clear and timely information, guidance, and support for the participants, and acknowledge and appreciate their contributions. You also need to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the participation process, and report back the results and outcomes to your stakeholders.

The most important stakeholder in WTE projects would always be the regulatory authorities. Unless the government recognizes the value that this transformation creates beyond just a dollar amount, WTE projects will be hamstrung. So it is critical to understand how the local government perceives these projects both now and in the future. Be part of legislative changes and initiatives that drive the success of WTE projects.

4 Manage expectations

The fourth step in stakeholder engagement is to manage expectations and potential conflicts that may arise from your WTE project. You need to set realistic and achievable goals and milestones for your WTE project, and communicate them clearly and consistently to your stakeholders. You need to anticipate and mitigate any risks or issues that may affect the delivery and performance of your WTE project, and inform and consult your stakeholders accordingly. You also need to establish and follow a conflict resolution mechanism that can address any disputes or grievances that may emerge from your WTE project, and ensure that the process is fair, transparent, and respectful.

6 Learn and adapt

The sixth and final step in stakeholder engagement is to learn and adapt from your WTE project. You need to collect and analyze data and information on the performance, impacts, and outcomes of your WTE project, and compare them with the objectives, indicators, and targets that you set. You need to identify and share the lessons learned, best practices, and challenges from your WTE project, and use them to inform and improve your future WTE projects. You also need to solicit and incorporate the feedback and suggestions from your stakeholders, and adjust your WTE project design and implementation accordingly.
