    Monitoring and evaluation
    (Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 1997) Satyamurthi, V.
    These writings on Monitoring and Evaluation, compiled by V. Satyamurthi, provide a succinct and practical introduction to key tools of project planning and management. They clearly explain Logical Framework Analysis, including its meaning, strengths, and limitations, while showing its relevance for objective oriented and participatory planning. The notes further discuss important concepts such as early start, early finish, late start, late finish, total slack, critical path, and critical jobs, along with how these may be calculated to improve project efficiency. Comparisons between Program Evaluation and Review Technique and Critical Path Method help clarify their use in different contexts. The notes also explain outputs and checklists and their role in implementation and review. Overall, this document brings together essential monitoring and evaluation concepts in an accessible format.

    Second national inter professional dialogue on participaroty development and participatory research, April 18-24, 1997
    (Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) and Association of Schools of Social Work in India (ASSWI), 1997-04) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)
    This report documents the Second National Inter Professional Dialogue on Participatory Development and Participatory Research, organised by PRIA and the Association of Schools of Social Work in India in 1997. Its central purpose was to deepen conceptual understanding of participatory research and participatory development, while examining their relevance for social work education and practice. Participatory research is presented not merely as a method of inquiry, but as a process through which ordinary people generate knowledge, analyse their realities, and shape their own development. Participatory development is similarly located within wider shifts from welfare oriented and top down models toward empowerment, decentralisation, and democratic engagement. Across chapters on governance, rural and urban development, people’s movements, training, and field practice, the report reflects on how participation can be institutionalised in meaningful ways. It also raises critical questions of power, professionalism, curriculum reform, and the relationship between theory and practice. A major contribution of the dialogue is its insistence that social work education must move beyond service delivery alone toward approaches that strengthen agency, collective action, and social transformation.

    What is participatory research?
    (Social Science and Medicine, 1995) Cornwall, Andrea; Jewkes, Rachel
    Research strategies which emphasize participation are increasingly used in health research Breaking the linear me of conventional research, participatory research focuses on a process of sequential reflection and action, carried out with and by local people rather than on them. Local knowledge and perspectives are not or only acknowledged but form the basis for research and planning. Many of the methods used in participatory research are drawn from mainstream disciplines and conventional research itself involves varying degrees of participation. The key difference between participatory and conventional methodologies lies in the location of power in the research process. We review some of the participatory methodologies which are currently being popularized in health research, focusing on the issue of control over the research process. Participatory research raises personal, professional and political challenges which go beyond the bounds of the production of information. Problematizing 'participation', we explore the challenges and dilemmas of participatory practice.
