| Abstract | The Methodology for Participatory Assessments (MPA) is a product of the Participatory Learning and Action initiative, which investigated the links between demand-responsive, gender-sensitive approaches and sustainability in 18 large projects in 15 countries. The new ground broken by the methodology concerns the way in which it attempts to mainstream gender and poverty indicators into a participatory methodology that can be used to monitor key aspects of sustainability. In addition it offers a means for stakeholders at various levels - community, project and service provider, and policy - to clearly visualize how their actions can contribute to the goal of sustainability. In part I of this video extension workers learn how to conduct community assessments. Part II is an instruction for facilitators of a stakeholders' meeting. |
