Participatory Learning and Action 53: Tools for influencing power and policy

Paul van Mele and Ann Braun explore the importance of methodological diversity in agricultural research and development. They argue that a wide range of methods and of actors implementing them allows for greater responsiveness and flexibility when working with different groups in different settings. Does flexibility in the choice of methods used promote creative thinking in development? And how can methods evolve and contribute to organisational learning?

Participatory Learning and Action (PLA, formerly PLA Notes) is the world's leading series on participatory learning and action approaches and methods. PLA publishes articles on participation aimed at practitioners, researchers, academics and activists. All articles are peer-reviewed by an international editorial board. See: www.planotes.org
