    Beyond "Whose Reality Counts?" New Methods We Now Need
    (Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, 1997-06) Chambers, Robert
    This paper examines the evolution and spread of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodologies and their application in diverse contexts across the globe. It discusses how PRA has adapted and converged with other methodologies, reflecting a shift towards responsible development practices. The paper highlights the ethical considerations and questions raised by the convergence of different traditions, focusing on the implications of democratic reversals and the need for an inclusive approach to development. It also explores the opportunity to leverage these methodologies for greater impact on marginalized communities and the role of participatory research in addressing poverty, participation, and policy changes.
