    African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research, Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July, 1979 – Group II and IV Report on the Discussion of Lead Paper 3
    (1979-07-07) Matwi, M.
    This report from Group II and IV captures the in-depth discussion at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research (Mzumbe, 2nd - 7th July, 1979) on Lead Paper 3, led by M. Matwi. Key issues discussed include the pressures faced by researchers within external socioeconomic and political forces, the role of class struggle in participatory research, and the ethical dimensions of research that includes community participation and alignment with action. The report raises critical questions about the motives behind research, the influence of funding agencies, and the challenge of turning research into meaningful action for community benefit. Examples from Tanzania and other African contexts underscore the need for research to foster self-development within communities, aligning with the philosophy of leaders like President Nyerere.
