Participatory rural appraisal

Abstract

In recent years, participatory rural appraisal (PRA) has been seen as an important new tool in agricultural development, supplying complementary information which is often difficult to obtain using more conventional methods. Whilst the development of PRA techniques has been documented, to date relatively little has been compiled on the application of these techniques in real situations. This handbook draws on the experiences of an Action Aid/Natural Resources Institute multi-disciplinary team who used PRA techniques to establish and monitor a participatory research project with farmers in Uganda.
