THE A4AI NATIONAL MULTI-STAKEHOLDER COALITION MODEL AND OBJECTIVES
![Page 10: A4AI-Mozambique Multi-stakeholder Coalition · A Global Multi-stakeholder Coalition • 60+ members, including local partners • Mission: – Meet UN Broadband Commission Broadband](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040515/5e6f5bf28d316675dc24012c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The National Coalition Concept
• Sustainable change requires workable approaches to the proposed reforms, but also consideration of the acceptability of the reforms to key stakeholders.
• The process of multi-stakeholder coalition seeks to ensure that public, private, academic, media and CSO sectors are represented in the national coalitions.
• A multi-stakeholder process is grounded upon the principles of consultation, collaboration and open dialogue.
• This ensures that the policy and regulatory reform proposals developed by the national coalitions are informed and shaped by the views and concerns of all stakeholder groups in each country.

Because…
• Policy and regulatory reform are the key to unlock development
• Active participation of all stakeholders in hammering out a concrete plan of action is perhaps the single most important step to move from high prices and low uptake to low prices and high demand.
