The more you monitor
How can you map and monitor changes in the environment with the participation and contribution of various stakeholders? The objectives of monitoring must be clear and, since stakeholders' interests vary, a process of negotiation is necessary and compromises inevitable. Changing views on change, sponsored by British DFID, presents three categories of methods for participatory monitoring, with case studies: visualisation techniques of participatory rural appraisal; oral testimony to uncover patterns of environmental and social change; and methods of ecological assessment which are adapted to be more accessible to local people. All these approaches are highly participatory in data collection, but few involve all stakeholders in the overall monitoring process. Of course, the more they are involved, the more relevant the information Changing views on change: participatory approaches to monitoring the environment. By J Abbot and I Guijt.
