This document discusses needs assessments and participatory approaches such as participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and rapid rural appraisal (RRA). It defines a needs assessment as a systematic process of gathering information to improve human conditions. Key aspects of needs assessments include identifying normative, perceived, expressed, and relative needs. PRA and RRA are participatory approaches that emerged in the 1970s/80s to gather local knowledge and assess rural conditions through flexible techniques like mapping, interviews, and discussions with local communities.
Concept of Participatory Resource Appraisal, Role of community in resource appraisal is also discussed. Impact of Participatory Resource Appraisal is also mentioned
The document discusses the steps and techniques involved in participatory rural appraisal (PRA). It outlines three key steps: rapport building, maintaining protocols, and data collection using tools and techniques. Rapport building is important for developing relationships and collecting reliable information from local communities. Protocols establish rules of conduct for the team. During data collection, techniques like semi-structured interviews, iteration, and probing are applied. Debriefing sessions allow the team to review findings. Understanding these steps, building rapport, and using the appropriate techniques are vital for effective information gathering through PRA.
This document introduces several participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques used by development practitioners to involve local people in analyzing rural situations. It describes seasonal diagrams which identify seasonal trends in agriculture issues. It also explains matrix ranking and scoring which allows farmers to compare and rank different products/services. Finally, it outlines problem censuses where local farmers act as facilitators to identify key problems and information needs to help design responsive extension activities.
Here are some potential issues and tools:
- Food security - Seasonal calendar
- Natural resource management - Resource maps
- Livelihood strategies - Ranking matrix
- Gender roles - Daily activity calendar
Discuss as a group and fill out the tool.
This document outlines the agenda and objectives for a 3-day workshop on Participatory Learning Action (PLA) research methods. The workshop will introduce PLA tools and exercises, help plan a PLA field study in Burundi and South Sudan on engaging men and boys for gender equity, and allow staff to exchange experiences. The field research aims to understand social constructs of masculinity related to violence and design interventions to reduce gender-based violence among youth.
Brief Introduction to PRA
PRA originally stood for Participatory Rural Appraisal, but its applications are in many, many contexts besides rural, and good practice is far more than just appraisal.
PLA stands for Participatory Learning and Action. As a term it is often used interchangeably with PRA.
Appraisal – The finding out of information about problems, needs, and potential in a village or in any settlement. It is the first stage in any project.
