Framework
The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) is a global organization that seeks to promote and improve the practice of public participation. The City of Cincinnati has adopted the IAP2 engagement framework and will be used to guide City-led engagements. We highly encourage City staff and the community use this tool during and throughout the public participation process. To get started, use the questionnaire below to find out the recommended level of engagement for an upcoming project.
