This article outlines a new technique which it is hoped will contribute to a basket of approaches designed to link PRA to policy. It was piloted with communities in two Game Management Areas in Zambia in December, 1995.

The article describes the technique and some of the lessons learned from the case studies.

This is a letter written to Mr. Wolfensohn as a comment on a talk delivered at the professional Bankers Association. The letter specifically refers to an issue raised on not judging by volume, but by results.
