Stakeholder Groups
NDEP Stakeholder Groups are comprised of representatives of organizations and/or individuals who share mutual interests and goals with NDEP and have capacity to identify and address the needs of high-risk and other priority populations.

- Working with NDEP, with each other, and with other Stakeholder Groups to ensure that the needs and priorities of high-risk populations and/or major Stakeholder Groups are addressed in NDEP’s plans and initiatives.
- Sharing information and providing input on an ongoing basis to the Operations Committee and relevant Task Groups to ensure that NDEP messages, materials, and initiatives are audience-appropriate and culturally-sensitive.
