Participatory appraisal and education for empowerment

PRA has much in common with Participatory Research (PR) and Participatory Action Research (PAR). The latter concepts were developed in the 1970s by pioneers such as Rajesh Tandon and Fernandes, Orlando FalsBorda and Budd Hall, who highlighted the need to link research with empowering education and action. The common ground in PR and PRA is the concern with persistent inequalities in the distribution of power and resources and the development of a research and planning methodology which is more people-centred in its approach.
