Improved Participative Methods Toolkit

Together with the King Baudouin Foundation (Brussels, Belgium), viWTA reworked and improved the Participatory Methods Toolkit they wrote in 2003.

The new Toolkit stays true to its original intention. While it clearly indicates the context and the purpose of different participatory methods, it does not overburden the reader with theory. This Toolkit is a practical and pragmatic guide for everyone who wants to organize participation on every level

This Toolkit is free. The previous version was extremely popular. To make the new version available to everyone in an efficient and cost-effective way, we offer it only in a digital format. Readers can download the whole Toolkit, or only the chapters they are interested in.

Erratum: In the 'References and Resources'-section of the Scenario Building chapter, we incorrectly referred to the book 'A Guide to Conducting Futures Studies in Africa'. The correct reference is: Cairncross, I. (2002), A Guide to Conducting Futures Studies in Africa. Ottawa, Canada: Phylos International Political Economy (with assistance of the Canadian Government).
