dc.descriptionSeveral participatory research initiatives in Asia—including in Thailand, the Philippines, Korea, and Bangladesh—highlight how local communities and grassroots organizations are taking charge of their development. These efforts include administrative reform, rural development, farmer empowerment, and health services. Participatory Research (PR) enables local knowledge generation, strengthens collective action, and brings real change. The text also explores critical theoretical and practical questions around PR methodology and researcher roles.
dc.description.abstractA regional (Asian) meeting of participatory research was organized in Bangkok, Thailand with the assistance of ASPBAE during April, 1979. The participants included one representative from Philippines, Korea, Bangladesh, Australia and India, and ten Thais.. There was also a representative from UNESCO, Dr J.R. Kidd also participated in the meeting for a part of the time. Two Qanadian colleagues presently doing fieldwork in Thailand also joined. This was a first meeting of its kind organized in a limited fashion to strengthen Participatory Research in Asia. Specifically, the objectives of the meeting were: (a) to discuss and understand the concept of Participatory Research approach; (b) to share experiences of Participatory Research from various countries in Asia; (c) to develop mechanisms for extending the network of Participatory Research in Asia.
