Abstract
Exploring the potential of Participatory Video for pro-poor market development and farmer-to farmer technology transfer. One of the main objectives of Practical Action's Markets and Livelihoods (Aim 2) team in the UK is to strengthen the technical capabilities and support the work of the programme teams in our country and regional offices. Participatory Video (PV) is a tool that can help the country/regional teams in at least two ways: 1. Adding value to Participatory Market Systems Development (PMSD) in three areas: - Farmers Coordination/Dialogue/Collaboration (mainly through the technique of "participatory storyboarding"), - Farmer to Farmer Technology Transfer, and - Farmers Influence on Market Actors and Policy-Makers. 2. Improving our monitoring/learning processes (Stories of Change/Most Significant Change) The idea here is to find out how PV can help us improve the process of gathering the stories and finding out the most significant changes happening in our projects. By giving control of the camera and the interviewing process to the communities themselves, PV can help us to improve the way communities talk to us and to their peers, and the reflections we need to have around the stories coming out of our projects. The versatility of the PV techniques learned in the workshops means that the trainees will be able to apply them to both areas (PMSD and Monitoring). We want PV to improve the ways in which we communicate with the beneficiaries of our projects, how we learn from our projects and adjust them to the emergent challenges.
