I hate to say it, but I know little more of exactly what folks do in this methodology, than I did before :-(
This is not a criticism of Bill, whose post reminds me that I too often fail to consult google for useful information. There seems something vague about this post that perhaps characterizes the difference between qualitative and quantitative methods that I find unsettling....."capacity building for the awared holders"...."Participatory Appraisal"...."Methods that use few words and record information in a simple and visual way..."....I feel like I am missing something.
