Item Involving communities in planning and assessing the impacts of development programmes: Report on a pacific NGO workshop on participatory approaches to development, Nadi, Fiji, 23–25 June(2023-06-23) Quinn, Marion; Clark, KevinThis report documents a Pacific NGO workshop on participatory approaches to development held in Fiji in 2003, aimed at strengthening the capacities of civil society organisations to use participatory impact assessment, stakeholder analysis, indicator setting, and community based monitoring in their own contexts. Its central concern is how development can move beyond expert driven models toward processes where primary stakeholders influence decisions, resources, and outcomes. The report covers practical sessions on identifying stakeholders, understanding gender relations, designing meaningful indicators, collecting and analysing data, and using participatory tools such as mapping, ranking, focus groups, seasonal calendars, and time use studies. Through examples from Pacific countries, it shows how communities can define priorities, generate knowledge, and evaluate change on their own terms. This report offers an important lesson that monitoring and evaluation are not merely technical exercises but democratic processes linked to power, voice, and accountability. It demonstrates that when communities participate from the beginning of a project cycle, development interventions become more relevant, more sustainable, and more responsive to local realities.Item Report on training of master trainers' in CBPR 07–09 June, 2022(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2022-06-09) Rakhyani, NikitaItem Item Regionalizing the UNESCO knowledge for change consortium: K4C at the ESC!(UNESCO Chair, 2023-10-05) Mercy, NkathaItem Editorial: Knowledge democracy for a transforming world(UTS ePRESS, 2020-05-31) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshThe past five decades have seen enormous, worldwide growth in, and appreciation of, knowledge democracy the discourse which we have found best contains the various theoretical approaches, values and practices within which participatory research exists. This Introduction outlines our understanding of knowledge democracy, which can be expressed by a number of principles: (1) Recognition of a multiplicity of epistemologies and ways of knowing; (2) Openness to assembling, representing and sharing knowledge in multiple forms (including traditional academic formats and all manner of social and arts-based approaches); (3) Recognition that knowledge emerging from the daily lives of excluded persons is an essential tool for social movements and other transformational strategies; and the (4) Requirement to carefully balance the need to protect the ownership of communities' knowledge with the need to share knowledge in a free and open access manner. We are pleased to present five articles from around the world that broaden and deepen our understanding of knowledge democracy from a theoretical perspective, a practice perspective, an ontological perspective, and an action or political perspective.Item PRIA Logue - Participatory research in Action: Where is the future Part 1 and 2(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2020-10-15) Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item Interim impact assessment of the kickstart equality programme : A participatory impact assessment study in Nuh, Haryana(Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA), 2023-06) Centre for Equity and Inclusion (CEQUIN); Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA)Item An introduction to the history, theory and practice of participatory action research(Department of Politics and International Relations, 2025) Díaz-Arévalo, Juan MarioItem International collaboration for changing the culture of research: UN SDGs and knowledge for change consortium(2020) Hall, Budd L; Tandon, RajeshUniversities are experiencing changes in the culture of research as they have known them.
