Title: Public consultation may also provide project sponsors with signifiant opportunities to benefit people living in the proposed project areas
Text: Focus Group Meetings and Needs Assessments: "In addition to the advantages for the project, public consultation may provide project sponsors with significant opportunities to benefit people living in the proposed project area(s). Consultation can help make corporate investments more effective by identifying communities' priority needs and designing locally appropriate responses. Greater interaction with their communities may increase local employees' commitment and morale. The goodwill generated by the project may help build local support, which can be valuable to the project sponsor if unanticipated problems occur (IFC, 1998:16)"
