Facilitating the introduction of a Participatory and Integrated Development Approach (PIDA) in Kilifi District, Kenya: Vol 2: From concept to action: a manual for trainers and users of PIDA

This manual is designed for the implementers of the PIDA (Participatory and Integrated development Approach) pilot projects in Kilifi district, Kenya. The eighteen steps of PIDA include a PRA training workshop but place greater emphasis on the follow-up phase. This manual introduces PRA theory and methods, as well as sessions on skills appropriate to follow-up, such as 'reader-friendly writing' and 'drafting the proposal'. Instructions for each PRA activity are given, followed by a description of how the activity worked in the project area, including what went wrong.

Facilitating the Introduction of a Participatory and Integrated Development Approach (PIDA) in Kilifi District, Kenya: Vol 1: Recommendations for institutionalising PIDA based on 4 pilot projects

PIDA (Participatory and Integrated Development Approach) has been used in four pilot projects in Kilifi district, Kenya. PRA is an integral part of the PIDA approach : an initiating phase is followed by a PRA phase, then a follow-up phase. This volume discusses in detail the institutionalisation of the PIDA approach within Kilifi district structures. The process of running PRA training, developing community action plans and implementing follow-up is described, with the emphasis on the latter which 'has so far been totally neglected in the PRA literature'.
