200 A Project of the UN Democracy Fund (UNDEF) Step 10: Post Event 27 28  Post-deliberation surveys This survey should be very similar to the pre-deliberation survey, it is an interesting measurement of how the participant’s views have changed. You should also ask additional feedback questions around the process for learning and improvement. These processes can always adjust for their local context and learning what does and does not work from people who have participated in one is the best way of adjusting. Response back from decision makers to participants Decision makers should close the loop for participants by providing an in-depth response to the recommendations report. It should clearly explain what the government’s response is to each recommendation, whether it has been accepted, what will happen with each recommendation from here. Clear communication about why each decision has been made and on what points the decision maker agrees with the participants is important for broad public trust in the process. (Refer to pp 160-161 for examples of this.)
