The present book is neither a handbook nor a cookbook of rural par ticipation. It is a mid-way documentation of an on-going process of direct participation based on the methodology of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). It presents the principles, the methods applied and selected field experiences in applications of PRA. The book, is at best, an intermediate product of experiments in learning from the vil lagers and, at worst, a study in participation much of whose results are not in the nature of a 'blueprint' for replication and many of whose limits are unknown as yet.
