Guest Papers:

Kamal Phuyal is one of the foremost PRA trainers in Nepal. He asks the question "Why PRA?" noting that most material about PRA is about "How (to do PRA)." To Kamal, the answer is related to the syntheses of Buddhist and Hindu values of his home country, Nepal. See: Sharing PRA. His later contribution is Participatory Appreciative Planning Approach [PAPA].

Benjamin Fleming, community specialist in Australia, writes an article that opens with the provocative statement, "Participation does not always lead to empowerment." See: Participation. See his later contribution, Gaining Community Ownership , where he discusses our role in this process.
