Workshop Details: Participatory research methodology emerged from the practice of adult education in diverse settings. Respecting local, indigenous and practitioner knowledge as a founding principle, various methods of community-based participatory research have evolved and utilized in many different domains of socio-economic development---health, education, water, sanitation, livelihoods, and governance. Within this context, the workshop will focus on methods of community-based participatory research and promote usage of the same.
