PRA and Literacy Update : Evaluating empowerment and the impact of the pilot projects

Publication year: 
1994

The ActionAid pilot projects linking literacy and PRA (see ActionAid, 1994) are soon to be evaluated. As empowerment is one of the central objectives of the new approach, a key issue is how do we measure empowerment? Matrices and semi-structured interviews form the basis of the evaluation which will be developed with the literacy learners. For example, matrices to measure community actions initiated through the literacy programme, participation of women in household decisions and children's education.

Interest groups: 
Might interest fieldworkers, planners and literacy workers.
