Guidelines on participatory development in Kenya: critical reflection on training, policy and scaling up

These guidelines are used to deepen the understanding and improve quality of participation. They clarify particular issues and challenges and set minimum standards that can be used innovatively and creatively by practitioners to achieve sustainable and equitable development. They are intended to be used to improve the practice of participatory development based on practitioners' own development contexts. The guidelines are an indication of the ideal situation on participation; this is therefore a living document which will constantly evolve in response to unique contexts in which different stakeholders use participation. They will feed into public policy and engage development partners, practitioners, private sector and communities into dialogue for promoting good practice and lessons on participation.
