    A Brief Note on the Participatory Research Methodology
    (1980-03) Couillard, Marie-Andree
    This working paper by Marie-Andree Couillard, prepared for the KANITA Workshop II at Universiti Sains Malaysia, explores participatory research as a methodology for involving rural and underprivileged communities in the research process. It highlights the challenges, responsibilities, and practical considerations of using participatory methods within development projects. The author discusses the historical context, theoretical foundations, and pragmatic limitations of participatory research, questioning its efficacy in truly empowering the poor within constrained socio-economic systems.
