Participatory Research (PR) is a set of multi-disciplinary approaches that share a core philosophy of inclusivity especially between the researchers and the community. It recognises the value of engaging the stakeholders, users, and beneficiaries; of the knowledge generated by the research study as partners in the entire research process. Over the last few decades’ interest in PR has increased across the development sector as well as academia because of its potential to bridge gaps between research and practice, addressing social justice and creating conditions for people to take control of their own situation.
