Participation Resource Centre
incorporating the collection of IIED

The Participation Resource Centre is a collection of over 5,000 documents, many of them unpublished and practitioner-based, about participatory approaches to development.  They include research reports, training manuals, workshop reports and critical reflections on Participation. Information about each document can be searched on-line.

The Centre particularly promotes Participatory Methodologies, sharing practical examples from development initiatives around the world in the form of case studies, guides and manuals.

The collection is held at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex and incorporates the collection of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). To read more about the Participation Resource Centre visit the Participation.net homepage.
