ANNEX 3. Participatory methods and approaches: sharing our concerns and looking to the future


A LABEL WITHOUT SUBSTANCE?

A workshop on developments in the theory and practice of Participatory Rural Appraisal was held from May 9-13, 1994 at the Institute of Development Studies (UK). As part of this process, a small group of PRA practitioners and trainers sat together to discuss and seek ways to address growing concerns about quality assurance, cooption, and ethics surrounding the use of PRA. Following a brainstorming session on why quality assurance was felt to be so crucial at this stage, the group developed a set of basic principles/indicators by which "good practice" could be identified. Below follows a summary of these discussions.
