The Participation Handbook for humanitarian field workers contains detailed practical advice on the participation of affected people in humanitarian action. It has three sections:

  1. Developing a participatory approach (main issues, key factors, building mutual respect, communication methods and advice on reviewing your approach);
  2. Implementing your participatory approach at every stage of the project cycle (initial assessment, project design, implementation, monitoring and final evaluation);
  3. A list of tools and additional resources (books, internet sites, etc.).

Individual chapters and translations of this handbook can also be accessed via Groupe URD's website: English, French or Spanish.
