It is intended to provide an introduction to Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) for people working in these fields. The principal components of these two approaches to information collection and planning are described along with the various tools used with a case study to illustrate their use and some of the issues they raise. Possible applications of the approaches for those involved in aquaculture development are given and an outline provided of the sorts of planning and institutional context where they can best be applied. The problems and shortcomings of the approaches are also discussed and guidelines given for the use of alternative approaches to information gathering and planning. -

This manual helps those working at artisanal fisheries landing sites to identify, collect and analyse information in a participatory way, and consequently to create and seek support for a development plan. It goes beyond simple data collection to explain how to write a project proposal and gives pointers on how to find funding, as well as technical and other support. In additi on to well-known participatory methods of data collection and analysis, the manual includes transects in the fisheries production chain. This unique tool was adapted from the agricultural transect walk. The material is based on a number of cases in West Africa but the principles are applicable worldwide. -
ProjectA manual on rapid appraisal methods for coastal communities - BOBP\MAG\6 1987

No results found.Rapid Rural Appraisal, or RRA, is a repertoire of rapid approaches to collecting information and identifying problems. It is increasingly being used by development agencies, government departments and non-government organisations (NGOs ) the world over to learn about conditions ‘in the field’. Until now, it has most frequently been applied in agricultural communities and rural areas (thus, Rapid Rural Appraisal). However, as it gains acceptance, it is being used in a wider range of situations an d conditions. It has been used to find out more about urban communities and to look at problems outside the agricultural sector, in such areas as forestry, health, nutrition, family planning and small industry development. Until now, RRA techniques have rarely been applied, in a systematic way, in coastal communities and, in particular, in the fisheries sector. But, interestingly, some of the techniques which make up the RRA approach are already in use by individuals or groups involved in fisher ies development. Many people working in fisheries development also have their own techniques for collecting information and arriving at conclusions which could and should be included in the RRA repertoire. What has been lacking so far are attempts to use RRA systematically in looking at fishing communities, their way of life and livelihood, and the coastal ecosystems in which they live
