Why some projects succeed and others fail: the role of perception, trust, and ESG
This episode explores a question that sits behind many energy and infrastructure projects across Central Asia: why do some projects succeed while others fail? While financing, technology and regulation are often seen as the primarily factors the discussion highlights the equally important role of public perception, stakeholder trust and social acceptance in determining long term project outcomes. Together with Dr. Jessica Neafie we discuss how perception, stakeholder engagement and ESG practices share real project implementation in the region.
