Purpose
To allow all participants to share their opinions and ideas on the community’s situation/ issues freely, on guide questions provided by the facilitator. Allow facilitators to get to know the community, and their main issues.
The concepts and tools of Participatory Action Research (PAR) are used to guide people in exploring and sharing their knowledge of life and local conditions, in making decisions, and in planning and carrying out actions to effect change within their communities. Local or external facilitators can adapt these tools to guide the people in their analysis, decision-making and action.
