Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course is designed to introduce the basic theory and practices in developing small-scale projects in a participatory way projects that focus on communities or groups of people who are facing common problems. It introduces students to project cycle management (planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation) and logical framework approach. Most importantly, students will learn the importance as well as difficulties in defining problems not from the outsiders but from the insiders point of view. Throughout the course, emphasis will be put on how to develop projects in a cooperative, participatory and culturally appropriate manner. Students will also learn possible consequences of developing projects in a non-participatory way and the limits and issues of participatory approaches. The course will focus on the practical application of these concepts and approaches using some real examples and fictional case studies. Examples will be drawn from the lecturers own experiences mainly in South East Asia and in the area of health promotion.
