Grant Description
Project focus: To provide interim support to build capacity and increase institutional awareness of the value of participatory research methods. To further the vision of the partners involved in AHI, there is an urgent need:

  1. To build capacity and a "pool" of resource persons for participatory research specifically in the context of community/catchment and agroecosystems.
  2. To build experience and "case" studies to illustrate the methodologies and effect institutional change.

AHI's aim is to move the participatory process from a currently contractual-consultative mode to a more collegial mode.
