The positive path: using appreciative inquiry in rural Indian communities
This document was produced during a two-and-half-year partnership project involving Canada's International Institute for Sustainable Development, the UK's Department for International Development, and MYRADA, an Indian development agency. The purpose of the project was to field-test Appreciative Inquiry, an innovative approach to organizational and social development. Appreciative Inquiry moves beyond participatory problem/needs analysis by identifying peak moments within a community and then discovering and reinforcing the conditions that made them possible.
