In search of new impetus: practitioner's reflections on PRA and participation in Kenya

Cornwall, Andrea; Musyoki, Samuel; Pratt, Garett

The paper is a case study of the way that World Neighbors used Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in a process of community development in one sublocation in Kenya. The paper gives some background as to the practices of World Neighbors, the conditions in the community, and the role of government in the area. It then explains how the PRA was used with a representative body at the sublocation level for analysis and planning.
