- Develop structured guidance and tools for stakeholder consultations, including clear discussion prompts and key questions to support HLC staff in conducting in‑person consultations with Pacific regional and national partners.
- Lead virtual stakeholder consultations and participate in in‑person consultations where appropriate and feasible, to gather insights that inform the GEDSI analysis and recommendations.
- Prepare a concise stakeholder consultation summary report, synthesizing insights, themes, and identified opportunities, to be incorporated into the overall GEDSI analysis report.
