PLA Notes CD-ROM 1988-2001 1 Using Rapid Rural Appraisal to formulate a village resources management plan

Over a period of two weeks (total of 6 working days), a field team of 6 officers from the National Environment Secretariat (NEB) and Clark University as well as 7 technical officers from the division/location level joined with formal and informa l leaders from Mbusyani Sublocation, Kakyuni Location, Kangundo Division, Machakos District. The goal of the exercise was to use Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) to formulate a sublocation Village Resource Management Plan (VRMP). While the process is still incomplete, there has been sufficient learning and insights gained to circulate an interim report. A more detailed final paper will be prepared in a few months time when the process is more fully developed.
