<p>I am glad that you found my experience useful Ian. You might like to share about our upcoming project on immunisation.</p>
<p>Constellation will be working in India with Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) under 3ie project. PHFI will conduct impact assessment of the SALT (Stimulate, Appreciate, Learn, and Transfer) approach of community engagement to increase immunisation coverage through ownership - a mixed methods study in three districts of Assam (Northeast India). The Constellation's facilitation team will combine PAR with Community life competence approach because we believe that a systems thinking is key in sustainable change. To elaborate, PAR will attempt to include village communities, health workers, government officers and all other stakeholders. Unless we do not include all key stakeholders we may not be able to address structural inequalities and other issues beyond the reach of communities. </p>
<p>Glad to have you with us in this project Ian!!</p>

<p>Dear Ian,</p>
<p>I will share an experience which highlights why strength-based approach like Community life competence process and SALT are critical for Participatory action research. </p>
<p>We know that there are power dynamics in the social environment. Role of communities is not valued. Similarly communities are not homogeneous group, there exist unequal power relations based different castes,tribles religions, race, gender, age etc. Unless stakeholders value communities and community members value each other irrespective of social and cultural differences the participation in action research will be tokenistic. </p>
<p>I did a project with IDRC Canada in Cambodia and India with sex workers. The project was around building capacity of sex workers on documentation and advocacy. I was part of the evaluation team where we had to facilitate participatory action research with sex workers so that they could tweak their documentation and advocacy work throughout the two year project (2010-2012). We did a very participatory workshop with them. The sex workers seemed happy but then came back to us and said that they could not do research. "We are illiterate, it is the educated, white people who do research", was their comment.</p>
<p>That is when I proposed that we needed to use community life competence process to build confidence of the community in their ownself and also foster ownership towards the research. Thus we changed the whole PAR based on CLC. Additionally, self assessment framework proved to be an excellent tool for reflection and subsequent, community action. For instance how one NGO changed the aggressive approach towards the government and other stakeholders, how it started using evidence to support its arguments was the result of this reflection process.</p>
<p>What I learned from this project was that for effective community engagement in PAR we first need to invest in community processes. </p> In Cambodia, we adapt CLCP as…tag:aidscompetence.ning.com,2016-03-23:2028109:Comment:1521692016-03-23T09:04:46.866ZHAK Sochannyhttps://aidscompetence.ning.com/profile/HAKSochanny
