What Dialogue Centers Offer:

A process by which all reach a common understanding on issues and consequences.

A process to strengthen (without pre-empting) the parliamentary process.

A forum to facilitate debate and conclusions about legislation, ensuring that regulation is in the service of the national economy, rather than specific interest groups.

A mechanism to de-personalise sensitive issues, enabling fact-based decision-making.

A visible commitment to transparency and good governance, offering reassurance to the public, inward investors and international bodies.

A contribution to the establishment of a transparently regulated market economy, to remove the possibility of corrupt practice on both sides.
