From input to influence: participatory approaches to research and inquiry into poverty
The central role of research in legitimating knowledge - in shaping what kinds of knowledge count - means that this is a particularly important activity for people living in poverty. But it should also be seen as a part of a broader agenda, about the right of people living in poverty to participate in society more generally, especially in debates and decision making, and to have greater control over their lives. This report focuses on the participation of people with direct experience of poverty in research and inquiry into poverty.
