Collaborative Action: Communities, Researchers and Policy Makers ■Responding to this requires collaborative interdisciplinary action with multiple stake holders: communities, researchers, NGOs, government and policy makers. ■Researchers play a central role in this process. What this means: 1.Approaches must align themselves with local cultural practices and be community driven from the start. 2.Research must move beyond scientific results, reporting and evaluations.
