Whilst there is a large body of literature that focuses generally on participation in constitution-making processes and handling diversity of opinion, no resources were found that exclusively discussed effective inclusion of minority groups. However, practical recommendations for promoting the inclusion of minority groups include the following:
- Create an independent commission to handle the constitution-writing process;
- Encourage civic education;
- Provide multiple forums for debate;
- Take practicalities into consideration e.g. location of venues, security for vulnerable groups;
- Produce materials in local languages;
- Be aware of illiteracy and use alternative methods where necessary; and
- Involve and use the media for awareness raising
