This extract from the manual deals with analysing and reporting on PRA findings. The pages suggest that analysis is continuous and it is the responsibility of the PRA team to sort, analyse and check findings with key informants and also to make reports to outsiders.

This article provides a summary of the major challenges currently facing PRA, as well as the changes implied by some of these challenges. The challenges are considered at six different levels, namely the individual, community, organisational, project and programme, donor and policy levels. The challenges identified are drawn from the literature on PRA, as well as from a recent series of workshops held by the author with the staff of six NGOs that are promoting PRA in South Asia.

This article summarises the perceptions of staff of a rural development NGO in southern India, on the impacts of PRA on their project planning, implementation , management and evaluation.
