dc.description.abstractThis report documents the Group I & III Methodology discussion held during the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research (Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July, 1979), focusing on Lead Paper 3, which critically examined the Participatory Research Approach (PRA). The discussion revolved around the issues of class struggle, the role of intellectuals from the petty bourgeoisie, and the potential for collaboration between intellectuals, workers, and peasants. The group also explored the relationship between theory and practice within historical materialism, stressing that participatory research must prioritize the interests of the people rather than contribute to their exploitation.
