Participatory Research, Planning and Evaluation Process in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar Hotspots Summary Results: Participatory Action Research

IDS and Praxis supported eleven action research groups in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The groups identified their research enquiries based on a joint analysis of the life stories at the Collective Story Analysis workshop 13–16 May 2015. The aim of the action groups was to develop ideas for pilot interventions, including encouragement and support of the researchers, but without additional project funding. This allowed people to explore ideas and to mobilise resources outside the operational programmes.
