01/06/2009

The Participation Handbook for humanitarian field workers contains detailed practical advice on the participation of affected people in humanitarian action. It has three sections: Developing a participatory approach (main issues, key factors, building mutual respect, communication methods and advice on reviewing your approach); Implementing your participatory approach at every stage of the project cycle (initial assessment, project design, implementation, monitoring and final evaluation); A list of tools and additional resources (books, internet sites, etc.). This tool is the result of the Global Study on Consultation and Participation of Disaster-affected Populations, which was carried out by Groupe URD from 2002 to 2004.
