Capacity Building & Exchange

Participatory Action Research (PAR)

“As a result of the training, my confidence to organise and progress a participatory action research (PAR) process has significantly changed ….Besides, I had no idea about power distribution between researchers and participants in the whole process of PAR and how to facilitate the PAR activities in a workshop before the training. It was during and after the training that I came up with enough knowledge, skills, and attitudes to organise a PAR process.” - Quote from participant.
