This note argues that, in spreading PRA, normal professionalism is best overcome by direct experience. An example is given of a senior agricultural research officer who realises his erroneous stereotypes of farmers after interacting with farmers in a PRA workshop held in Botswana. The realisations derived from the experience prompted institutional changes to adopt PRA approaches.
Interest groups:
This note may be of interest to PRA trainers and facilitators.
