Participative Rural Appraisal: a Workshop with Robert Chambers

Publication year: 
1992

This training workshop report consists of a selection of short documents on various aspects of PRA. The first, entitled 'Start, Stumble, Self-Correct, Share' contains pertinent warning about the dangers of poor PRA, and hints on what constitutes good PRA (especially appropriate behaviours and attitudes). Subsequent papers discuss the origin, principles and methodology of PRA, with practical tips and information sources for where to learn more about PRA. There are brief guides on several PRA methods (e.g. mapping, transects, trend diagrams, matrix ranking or scoring, seasonal analysis), and copies of short articles produced elsewhere. This makes a good, accessible introductory pack to PRA methodology and methods.

Interest groups: 
This general introductory guide may be of interest to fieldworkers and trainers.
