  • 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 consultation workshops
  • contribute case studies or research findings
  • contribute information and analysis through ADB's online feedback facility
