Participatory Action Evaluation – Practical Tool and Community Capacity Building Strategy By: Cindy Banyai, Ph.D Executive Director, Refocus Institute

Background of Pagudpud Small, mountainous costal town on the northern tips of the Philippines Population of 21, 857 Occupations: agriculture, costal fishing, tourism Far from main markets and population centers Has access to main provincial highway Typical case Banyai, AEA

Participatory Action Evaluation systematic collection and assessment of information related to the outcomes, operation, or process of a policy structure, organization or relationship that incorporates stakeholders in the entire process actively through a collaborative project Banyai, AEA

Fully Participatory Process Contextualize concept/theory Determine research questions, indicators through group discussion Engage in an activity to interpret, respond to questions, indicators Banyai, AEA

Basic Steps Select target group based on objective of evaluation/intervention Invite members of target group to participate in introductory meeting – contextualize concepts Start discussions/activity with willing participants Reconvene group to discuss activity outputs, categorize according to indicators Present project outcomes to public or next target group Banyai, AEA

Driving concept for this evaluation Community capacity - ability of a community to produce outcomes through its actors by using the resources (human, social, physical, organizational, and financial) at its disposal (based on Chaskin et al 2001 and Miyoshi & Stenning 2008) Banyai, AEA

Community Capacity Attributes - SCORE –S - Sense of community –C - Commitment –O - Ability to set and achieve objectives –R - Ability to recognize and access resources –E - Evaluation and critical thinking** (not assessed in this project) Banyai, AEA

Video Project Basics 8 local leaders selected by mayor 12 day process –2 meetings, free association for filming Culminated in public exhibition with photo project Case selection –Pagudpud – convenience, average example –Local leaders – information-oriented, key informants Banyai, AEA

Gaway-Gaway Dance During planting husbands and wives work together, “happy under the sun” Seniors’ leader said clip made her proud because it is an Ilocano dance (sense of community) Banyai, AEA

Palay (rice) fields Represents cooperation and unity (sense of community) Samberga, - traditional method of rice cultivation and preparation (resources) Banyai, AEA

Daklis (fishermen) People work together because 2-3 people cannot handle it themselves, but can be easily done by working together (sense of community, objectives) Banyai, AEA

Public Market Center of economy (resources) Not enough tables for all vendors, some set up on the ground (objectives) Prompted calls for development Participants pointed out variety of products to demonstrate local resources Banyai, AEA

Distribution of relief goods “Need to teach how to live, not only give” “Teach a man to fish” parable Demonstrates sense of community, objectives Banyai, AEA

Dying sarakat Means of generating income to “uplift their way of life”, “to keep their standard of living” (resources) Government sponsored training to address needs of tourists (objectives) Banyai, AEA

Public Exhibition More than 100 attendees Coordinated with assistance of mayor Joined with photo exhibition Group members presented video and lead group in discussion Public response questionnaire Banyai, AEA

Project Outputs Video on community capacity of Pagudpud Satisfaction from participants Film and evaluative skills Banyai, AEA

Community Outcomes Increased knowledge of community issues Community dialogue – positive, critical Leadership development Banyai, AEA

Value and Uses Complements external evaluation Provides information for decision-making Empowers stakeholders Builds community capacity Banyai, AEA

Points to remember Local stakeholders have valuable knowledge Internal facilitators are best External facilitators only provide structure of evaluation and facilitate discussion –Encourage participants to tackle difficult issues Must let group dynamics flow naturally Meetings flow in cycles Put theories/concepts into understandable terms Banyai, AEA

Lessons from Project Possible, practical to use action research in participatory evaluation Non-traditional media is more engaging to participants Concept/theory contextualization makes evaluation accessible to participants Method needs further refinement, examination of beneficial outcomes Banyai, AEA
