This book explores research as a collaborative process: researching with and for people, rather than on people. In particular, it addresses the central question: "What is the nature of participation, and how can participative relationships and processes be established and sustained in human enquiry?"

A collection of case studies presented to a seminar on participatory development organised by the OECD Development Centre. The papers reflect the authors' wide range of experience in NGOs, bilateral and multilateral agencies, and other organisations.

Participatory policy analysis questions conventional policy-making procedures, challenges the behaviour and attitudes of policy makers and influences the style and substance of policy itself. This book examines the implications and issues of participatory policy-focused research through case studies and discussions. One section concentrates specifically on participatory poverty assessments as a means of bringing local poverty and policy analysis into the policy process.
