Course Syllabus

Module-1

DATA COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION

Data and its importance, sources of data collection, data collection methods, presentation of data using tables and graphs/charts, Data Analysis using measures of central tendency, present a report using the data collected.

Participatory Rural Appraisal methods:

  • Venn diagram,
  • Social maps and analysis,
  • seasonal analysis,
  • Livelihoods analysis,
  • Map of services and opportunities,
  • Timelines, Trendlines,
  • Natural Resource mapping,
  • Transect walk and diagramming,

Logical Framework Approach :

  • Stakeholder analysis;
  • Problem tree: cause and effect diagram;
  • Objective tree (Analysis): Means and End diagram, Force field Analysis;
  • Alternative Analysis;
  • Development of Project Planning Matrix

Gram Sabha Approach to planning :

  • Comprehensive Village Analysis-
    • Social  analysis;
    • Economic analysis;
    • Vulnerability analysis;
    • Women’s situation analysis;
    • Power and relationship analysis;

    • Dream  map,
    • Indicators  of  change/success;
  • Village development/Action plan
    • Detailed implementation plan
    • Using the Village Book to link with government plans and mobilise resources

Pedagogy: Workshops and field practice exercises, the data collected during data capturing will be validated through PRA tools. FGDs will be conducted with different groups to discuss in detail about the alternative plans and subsequently prepare a developmental plan using either LFA or Gram Sabha approach. Training Manuals of LFA and Gram Sabha Approach will be used.

Task - 4: Preparation of Developmental plan for the village
