DEFINING PRA This technique of data collection aims

to incorporate the knowledge and opinions of rural people in the planning and management of development projects and programmes.

PRA

Appraisal – The finding out of information about problems, needs, and potential in a village. It is the first stage in any project.

Participatory – Means that people are involved in the process – a “bottom-up” approach that requires good communication skills and attitude of project staff.

Rural – The techniques can be used in any situation, urban or rural, with both literate and illiterate people.

MATRIX RANKING AND MATRIX SCORING

Technique to findout the advantages and disadvantages against a product or service

Use to Compare services or products available

PROCEDURE Selection of an issue to investigate with a family or group of

farmers. For example, different varieties of rice, different methods of compost making, or different seed .storage vessels;

A serial number should be given to each product or service A symbol for eachshould be made

Talking about the advantages and disadvantages of each item

Turning them into criteria and list them in a column on the paper

Farmers asked to rank in order of performance against each criteria)

When complete, matrix ranking will show why one item is more used locally than others, even though others might be better.

Matrix scoring is a variation of matrix ranking. Instead of ranking each item against each criteria, score them out of 10.

Ranking is done on a scale of 1 to 10

TIMELINE

The facilitators meet small groups of villagers and discuss with them the most important events in the community’s past and prepare with the information a historical timeline which serves as the base for further work.

WEALTH RANKING:

This is a particularly useful method of (1) discovering how the community members define poverty, (2) to find who the really poor people are, and (3) to stratify samples of wealth. This is best done once you have built up some rapport with the community members.

EXAMPLE:

Category Criteria No. of households

Rich >10 acres land

18

Medium 2-5 acres land

63

Poor <2 acres land

69
