On all levels of governmental and nongovernmental institutions a real boom of participatory methods was initiated. Most famous examples are ZOPP of the GTZ and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA).

Mechanical application and trasfer of methods by experts fails in using them effectively and realising the participatory integration of the target group.
