Stakeholder Management is vital to the work of the OPFA. Stakeholder management activities are undertaken with a clear purpose of what is to be achieved. When stakeholders are engaged, they know how their contribution can affect the outcome and why they are being engaged. In order to ensure that there is transparency and accountability, interaction with stakeholders is aimed at providing each other with constructive, timely, evidence based information and be open to different opinions. Our processes and decisions are transparent and where appropriate, open to scrutiny. All engagements in which the OPFA engages are within its legislative mandate.
