PRA: What Is It and Why Should We Use IT.

Publication year: 
1996

The article discusses the nature of PRA and how it differs from other participatory methodologies. The paper emphasises principles, and attitudes and behaviour rather than on methods or tools. The article addresses issues of the PRA as a tool for empowerment and how it affects policy. The broad range of examples it draws on makes it a good read for enthusiasts and beginners to see the wide range to which PRA can be applied and the flexibility of the approach. The report has an interesting collection of quotes from field experiences from South Africa, Uganda and Zambia.
