Resumen
Descripción
In 1986, a special fund from the National Swedish Board of Fisheries gave the BOBP an opportunity to study and reflect on ‘people’s participation’ in small-scale fisheries and fisherfolk development. The one-year endeavour covered a wide range of activities, and culminated in a regional consultation to put to test the year’s learning. It was held in Bangalore, India, in May 1987. The year’s effort set out, optimistically, to evolve methods, strategies and techniques to enable participation in development. The first task was to scan the literature to study the state of the art and through reading and discussion to evolve an “operational” definition of ‘people’s participation’. A series of appraisals were then undertaken with a working definition of PEP and a checklist of questions to guide the effort.
