Advisory Committees
Advisory committees or advisory boards are groups of people who usually represent larger constituencies of interest, appointed to provide comment and advice on an issue or project. Advisory committees are usually asked to deal with more complex policy development or planning issues over a long time frame. They may not have representation from all affected parties and often are designed to solicit the views of a particular sector. Advisory committees are useful vehicles for organizing and coordinating input from a wide range of people.

Round Tables
Like advisory committees, Round Tables are typically formed to deal with complex policy, planning or implementation issues. They are specifically designed to have representatives of all the affected groups at the table. Round Tables are especially useful for developing consensus for action on complex issues. The selection of members is critical and the terms of reference must be clear and agreed to by all participants.

Monitoring Committees
Monitoring committees are established to ensure that the implementation of a project or policy is consistent with the solution proposed during the initial public process. Monitoring committees are appropriate vehicles for coordinating and conveying community concerns on an ongoing basis throughout the life of a project. Typically they represent all of the stakeholders.
