Good start! Please take another look at the stakeholder engagement grid to select engagement strategies on the basis of the level of involvement you are looking for and the types of stakeholders you are trying to engage.

- What mechanisms are we going to use to make sure we have the engagement we need to implement our French language health services plan?
Good start! These mechanisms enable you to ensure you have a shared vision, alignment with your partners and that your partners’ contribution is sustainable and goes beyond the people in place at the time the initiative is set up. Many groups start the work on a more informal basis before formalizing agreements, committee participation or shared work plans.
Great! You are considering several mechanisms that will enable you to formalize the working relationship with your partners as well as the objectives to be attained.
- What impact will your plan and its components (services, programs, policies, etc.) have on health service delivery and information dissemination to the target population?
Great! It is important that all of the partners involved be able to identify with the desired impact to create a shared vision to support continued collaboration. Your desired impact may target different aspects of access to French language services and quality of care as these aspects are often interrelated.
