The practice of participatory research and gender analysis in natural resource management

Abstract: Stakeholder participation is expected to improve the efficiency, equity, and sustainability of natural resource management research and development (R&D) projects by ensuring that research reflects users’ priorities, needs, capabilities, and constraints. Use of participatory methods and tools is growing rapidly; however, there is little systematic evidence about what participation actually means in practice, or about what difference it makes. Based on an inventory of 59 self‐described participatory R&D project… Show more

“…For instance, the potential for collective action among participating stakeholders can be enhanced in the course of the research. Yet, the short time frame of many research projects is often not very conducive to the formation of new organizations or strengthening of existing groups (Johnson et al 2004). Another factor to be considered under this attribute is that there may be forms of social capital pre-existing in the targeted communities that can be crucial for the success or failure of the research project, but may be difficult to influence by project staff.…”

“…Empirical studies show that participatory methods are primarily applied in applied and adaptive stages of agricultural research, i.e., where knowledge is geared towards action (e.g., Cornwall and Jewkes 1995;Weltzien et al 2000;Johnson et al 2004;Lilja and Dixon 2008;van Asten et al 2009). Basic research-i.e., experimental or theoretical research aimed at acquiring knowledge for understanding of certain phenomena without any particular application of the research in view-appears to have less potential for adopting a participatory approach.…”

“…Such approaches are particularly crucial in the field of land-use planning, where solutions to complex land-use problems often involve multiple disciplines, scales and actors. By integrating different local and scientific knowledge sources, it may be possible to develop a more rigorous understanding of the future (Johnson et al, 2004), and thus increase the possibility of application of the research results into decision making. However, there is often a gap in these approaches.…”
