Abstract
An analysis of IDRC’s experience with participatory research (PR) identifies 145 projects with significant PR content that were supported over the past twenty-five years. An eight-part classification is devised, a scheme which can be applied to contemporary as well as historical projects. A detailed examination of twenty-five projects is used to develop a new framework for assessing PR. This framework involves eight general and thirty specific factors that can influence levels of success. The IDRC projects reveal that PR is changing significantly, that it can be a highly effective approach to achieving sustainable results, and that it requires special forms of planning, training, and evaluation if that success is to be realized.
