Adult Education & Livelihood Women as Agents of Change
(0000) Pant, Mandakini
Out of an estimated 1.2 billion poor people in the world, over two-thirds are women. They face abject poverty in want of adequate food, clean water, sanitation, and health care. They often lack access to the critical resources of credit, land and inheritance. They are denied opportunities, choices; access to information, education, and skills. Without any sense of power whatsoever, their participation in decision-making is minimal, both at home and in the community.
Participatory Learning and Action: Principles and Systemic Learning Process
(International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), 1995-02) Pretty, Jules N.
This document outlines principles of Participatory Learning and Action (PLA) with a focus on participatory rural appraisal (PRA). It emphasizes the systemic learning process, the importance of multiple perspectives, group inquiry, context-specific adaptation, and facilitative roles of experts. Common myths surrounding PRA are addressed, as well as considerations for training and community engagement. The document serves as a guide for facilitators to foster sustained action through locally adapted participatory methods.
