STAGES OF PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
FROM AN INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE

1.Research Stage is where the development


problem is accurately defined.
2.Design Stages defines the actual activities.
3.Implementation Stage is when the planned
intervention is implemented.
4.Evaluation Stage participation ensures that
the most significant changes are voiced ,
brought to common attention and assessed .
STAGES OF PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
FROM AN INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE

5.Passive participation is the least participatory of the four


approaches. Primary stakeholders of a project participate by being
informed about what is going to happen or has already
happened. People’s feedback is minimal or non- existent, and
their participation is assessed through methods like head
counting and contribution to the discussion (sometimes referred
to as participation by information).
6.Participation by consultation is an extractive process,
whereby stakeholders provide answers to questions posed by
outside researchers or experts. Input is not limited to meetings
but can be provided at different points in time. In the final
analysis, however, this consultative process keeps all the
STAGES OF PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT FROM AN INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE

• Participation by collaboration forms groups of primary


stakeholders to participate in the discussion and analysis of
predetermined objectives set by the project. This level of
participation does not usually result in dramatic changes in what
should be accomplished, which is often already determined. It
does, however, require an active involvement in the decision-
making process about how to achieve it. This incorporates a
component of horizontal communication and capacity building
among all stakeholders—a joint collaborative effort. Even if
initially dependent on outside facilitators and experts, with time
collaborative participation has the potential to evolve into an
KEY ELEMENTS OF PARTICIPATORY

SOCIAL WORK IN PARTICIPATORY

• in social work, participatory development empowers


communities to lead in defining and solving their own
problems. It shifts from a top-down approach, where
external agencies dictate solutions, to a collaborative
model where social workers act as facilitators,
supporting community members to identify needs,
design interventions, implement strategies, and
evaluate outcomes. This approach fosters self-
reliance, ownership, and sustainability, ensuring that
development initiatives genuinely address the

• This study compares participatory development Participatory


Development, where communities lead projects, to traditional
top-down methods. It shows two main ways of doing
Participatory Development: one where communities have full
control and another where they give input to pre-planned
projects. The study looks at how much communities are
involved, from simply being told about a project to actively
making decisions. It also breaks down Participatory
Development projects into four steps: planning, designing,
doing, and checking the results. Importantly, it stresses that
communities must truly lead, and warns against just
pretending to involve them. Successful Participatory
Development helps communities become aware of their
