Abstract The changing agenda of research and development in agriculture and natural resource management requires new ways of thinking and doing. There is growing interest in approaches for joint research and development, with the participation of local people and a wider range of actors. This diverse yet interrelated range of approaches comprise Participatory Research and Development (PR & D). This sourcebook seeks to promote better understanding of PR & D’s complementary role to more conventional research approaches, and how to create effective linkages with mainstream science to facilitate local innovation processes. The publication helps provide easy access to field-tested PR & D concepts and practices among field practitioners and their organizations. It serves as a general reference and comprehensive overview of PR & D to trainers, policy makers, donors and professionals in other development sectors. The sourcebook highlights experiences in over 30 countries and illustrates PR & D applications in: sustainable crop and animal production, forest and watershed management, soil and water conservation, and postharvest and utilization. It comprises a total of 79 articles packaged in a set of three volumes and CD. Volume 1: Understanding Participatory Research and Development • Typologies and Concepts • Approaches • Participatory Technology Development • Participatory Natural Resource Management Volume 2: Enabling Participatory Research and Development • Capacity Building • Networking and Partnerships • Scaling Up and Institutionalization Volume 3: Doing Participatory Research and Development • Technology Development • Strengthening Local Organizations • Multi-Stakeholder Based Natural Resource Management Each article stands on its own and can be read independently. The publication also features additional information resources including a glossary, recommended publications, contact addresses of contributors, and directories of websites and e-groups.
