Stakeholder Advisory Board
To best utilise the potential of participatory processes, administrative advice of stakeholders is crucial. In GreeNet, one key stakeholder, i.e. agri-environmental and nature protection policy (AE&NPP) planner, from each partner country joined the GreeNet Stakeholder Advisory Board (StAB). These six persons advise the consortium on the research and participatory process of GreeNet. The stakeholder advisory board supports developing and assessing methods, results synthesis, up- and out-scaling of the project results, and dissemination to ensure the development of feasible and acceptable incentive schemes that are highly effective and efficient.
