Process: As it has been repeatedly said, in dialogue the means are as important as the ends, as consensus won’t last much if it isn’t built upon mutual understanding and a shared vision of the problems at stake. This is, more often than not, the result of a long and often slow process, in which all the interested parties feel that their voices are being heard. This will in turn require strong facilitation skills on the side of the Dialogue Host, as well as the deployment of a wide array of trust-building techniques, but it will also depend on the capacity development of those stakeholders that are struggling to keep pace of the debate or the joint appraisal of potential policy alternatives through access to relevant experiences. As with any other process, timing is key, as dialogue will not yield fruits until the situation is ripe and all the stakeholders have developed a high level of ownership over the policy reform process.
