Stakeholder Feedback

ADB encourages broad stakeholder participation to inform the SPU. Stakeholders can

• provide comments through ADB's safeguards web site or via e-mail at safeguards_update@adb.org
• circulate information about the SPU to their respective networks to encourage participation
• participate in consultations to provide feedback on the draft policy papers
• help identify Indigenous Peoples and project-affected persons to participate in the consultations with stakeholders
• contribute case studies or research findings
• participate in ADB's online discussion forum

ADB continues to welcome inquiries, comments, and suggestions on the SPU from stakeholders across the region.
