PRRA reminders: a handbook of participatory activities for community mobilisation against HIV infection

PRRA stands for Participatory Rural Research on AIDS, a participatory methodology being developed by CDC/KEMRI to assist villages in mobilising against HIV infection through their own research and analysis. The handbook presents a summary of the process and activities carried out, which include standard PRA techniques such as mapping, transects, semi-structured interviews, seasonal migration calendars and ranking, as well as a range of other activities. An outline of the week-long PRRA process is given, and suggestions of how each activity can be facilitated.
