Participatory planning involves stakeholders in the planning process so that everyone with a stake in the intervention has a voice. It has several advantages, including building ownership and credibility, bringing in diverse perspectives, and teaching skills. However, it also has disadvantages like taking more time and potentially disagreements. Those who should be involved in participatory planning are the targets of change, like community members, and agents of change, such as policymakers and influential community members.
