"This paper describes and analyses various perspectives on participatory
rural appraisal and the relationship between its rhetoric and practice,
particularly regarding its claims to give voice to the marginalised and
contribution to development needs. Drawing on relevant literature that
both critiques and provides examples of practice, the paper analyses two
case studies to explore what lessons we can learn about the approach
and its applicability as a methodology for marginalised social groups in
European contexts." (author's abstract)

Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) is a family of methods that enables communities to share and enhance their experience, and to plan and act together with external service-providers to enrich their lives. The methodology remains unknown outside development work circles, to the detriment of other professionals concerned with community empowerment. This article introduces PRA, and outlines some of its advantages compared with conventional community planning approaches.
