 Great successful implementation required close interaction
between different party

Involvement in government stakeholder and non-governmental

organisation

Communicati Wide area study require more communication in public input and
coordination in project team

Management
Internal framework and Public Communication Plan (PCP) is
necessary

Effective and efficient

Communication Implementation Plan is developed

 Each party has their Project Manager- Serve as the PDT- Serve as bridge to support
responsibility and roles primary spokesperson and communication effort to have
