This course is designed to introduce the basic theory and practices in developing small-scale community development projects in a participatory way. It provides an overview of project cycle management (planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation) and logical framework approach.

Students will also learn what maybe the effects of developing projects in a non-participatory way. In addition, limits of participatory approaches will be discussed. The course will focus on the practical application of participatory approaches using real examples of development work. Examples will be drawn from the lecturers experiences mainly in South East Asia but students can work on their own topic of interest in any country/city/town/community of their choice.
