Introduction to Participatory Appraisal2 - 'Running a PA project'
Inaugural course - 7th - 9th September 2005
Who should come on the course?
IPA2 is a course that moves beyond the focus of 'doing' PA (IPA1), and
considers the use of PA through the entire project cycle, from planning,
through consultations, data collation and management, and verifications, to
report writing and output production, action planning for implementations,
and monitoring and evaluation. As such course participants should have
previously participated in the PEANuT IPAI course (or equivalent), or have
practical experience in the use of PA (if the latter, please get in touch
prior to booking).
When are the next courses?
Bookings are now being taken for the following courses:
7 - 9 September 2005
25 - 27 January 2006
26 - 28 April 2006
What's the course like?
The course is run over 3 full days (Wednesday - Friday 9.30 am - 4.30 pm -
attendance for all 3 days is a course requirement) and, like IPA1, focuses
on learning by doing in a fun, supportive, and safe environment.
The course will cover:
· how to plan and develop PA based projects;
· how to record and collate PA 'data';
· how to organise effective verification events;
· how to write PA reports ; and
· how to evaluate and monitor a project
It will also allow you to:
· share new tools, and experiences with other PA practitioners
· become more aware of power issues within PA at all stages of the
project cycle
· better understand how to work with stakeholders/communities and
manage expectations
· think and reflect upon your use of PA
· develop informal support networks, and shared experiences with other
PA practitioners
· be more aware of how to use PA to effect meaningful change
How much will it cost?
