Stake Holder Engagements
Stakeholder engagement has and is the bedrock of our success. The KHCDT holds periodic and needs determined stakeholder engagement sessions with internal and external groups, individuals and organizations to ensure that the concerns, needs, and expectations of all stakeholders are considered, addressed, and integrated into decision-making processes. It typically involves communication, collaboration, and consultation. In this regard, quarterly stakeholder engagements are mandatory while others are held based on need
