Representation, poverty and PRA in the Mekong Delta

Publication year: 
1995

The study analyses a research and development project targeting poor farmers that is being implemented in southern Vietnam. The paper is neither a summary of findings nor a report on project activities. Rather, the focus of the paper is to reflect on issues which emerged as relevant in poverty alleviation, but which are generally ignored or forgotten in reports on development projects. The study highlights how different actors speak subjectively about poverty, and how images of the poor farmer are generated in rural development discourse.

Interest groups: 
Contains a very interesting discussion of some of the issues raised by using PRA methods, and will be of particular interest to PRA practitioners and researchers
