Community Participation

This was a session on identifying potential community leaders who were or would be the most reliable and dedicated persons to the community cause. This was done through using participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tools. On the basis of the participants' preferences, the villagers would form a committee called Para (village) Development Committee (PDC). This PDC is considered as the main vehicle of village development planning and implementation of community actions.

In the end of the session, the community facilitators were presenting the findings of the participants' discussion. Participants had identified the most reliable and dedicated persons for village development. This exercise was done more transparently and decisions were taken democratically with active participation of males and females in the village.
