    Program on Innovation Systems Management (PRISM): A Strategy for Improving Research Effectiveness
    (1993-02) International Development Research Centre
    Research supported by PRISM seeks to develop strategies for enhancing effectiveness by attending to the producer-user linkage. PRISM will fill an important role in strengthening the ultimate value of development research supported by the Centre by generating knowledge about the processes of innovation development, effectiveness and application-domains still relatively unexplored by the Centre's more traditional divisions. The problems faced by the developing countries in engaging as equal partners in these processes are both profound and urgent. Their solution requires explicit recognition that knowledge, production and use occurs at all points in the system, that attention to capacity building and implementation of change is needed throughout, and that effective and sustainable use of science and technology involves much more than access to machines and information.

    Inter-Professional Dialogue on Participatory Research and Participatory Developmet
    (PRIA and ASSWI, 1995-04-19) PRIA; ASSWI
    Inter-Professional Dialogue on Participatory Research and Development, 19-25 April, 1995 was organised by the Society for Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Social Work in India (ASSWI) on the premises of PRIA. This six-day programme was intended to orient the social work educators on people-centred, people-controlled development in India (and elsewhere) and Participatory Research through dialogical methods across professions. The dialogue was designed intra professionally. i.e. within the social work educators, and inter-professionally, i.e. between the educators and practitioners. The focus was not only to exchange learning but also to examine the implications of people-centred development and participatory research for social work education in India.

    Assessing Participation in a Development Project
    (PRIA, 1970.) Bhatt, Yogesh Kumar
    How effective is development? What is the impact of a development programme on people's lives? The true answers to such questions emerge from within the community, which have been the central concern of development following the refocussing of the development strategies in the mid 1970s. There has been an increasing concern within the development community to promote effective effective people's participation in order to improve the distribution of benefits of development and to re-emphasise development as a process concerning people. Arguments in the favour of promoting people's participation are both convincing and realistic. If we look at development as a process, then the local communities are the actors. A real assessment of development can be made if we can assess participation in the development programme. The communities should be self-reliant and able to manage themselves, so that their economic and social conditions can improve through collective action. In a true meaning development should envisage to improve upon the capacity (skills & resources) of the community to design, manage and implement development activities. If a development programme focusses into these aspects, then we can get the answer to above questions.
