Stakeholder Engagement Activities
DSD has always treasured stakeholders’ comments. During the year, we staged a wide range of stakeholder engagement activities through various channels to facilitate exchange with all sectors of society and introduce our latest key projects in order to broaden public awareness of the Department’s work. DSD staff also played an active role to show kind concern for the community through organising volunteer services and charity events.
