Empowering communities : participatory techniques for community-based programme development. Volume 2: Participant's handbook

An accompaniment to the training course Empowering Communities: Participatory Techniques for Community Based Programme Development (see C: Training Guides and Manuals, 3484), this guide is designed to provide participants with key points for each session, case studies, exercises and a structured format for keeping notes during their field experience. It does not serve as a stand-alone guide, but is a tool for use with the course. It is divided into three main sections: key points from training sessions; case studies, exercises and PLA resources and field notes. It provides the key points of the information presented during training, to enable participants to focus less on taking notes and more on participating actively during the sessions. It is by no means exhaustive and participants are encouraged to read additional materials on their own.
