dc.descriptionParticipatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) has its roots in participatory research, which questioned traditional, top-down research methods. It emerged as communities and educators realized that local voices and knowledge were being ignored by elites. Activists and development workers in the 1970s began advocating for approaches that involved people directly in decision-making. This shift gave importance to indigenous knowledge and empowered communities in development. Robert Chambers played a key role by introducing methods like Rapid and Participatory Rural Appraisal.
dc.description.abstractA further influence on the emergence of participatory approaches came from practitioners involved in development work from the 1970s onwards in both the North and South, but principally in the latter. Among them, debates grew about the fact that 'development elites were controlling knowledge production systems, with the result that in social sciences, the status quo was preserved and dependency created among the poor on government and elite sections for the resources, services and knowledge that comprised 'development. As a result, some development practitioners began to realise the importance of indigenous and popular knowledge in framing and delivering more effective development programmes.
