~This general issue of PLA Notes includes a broad range of papers on the use of participatory research in many different contexts. This edition includes articles documenting new methods of collecting data, allowing both qualitative and quantitative data collection and how communities can be empowered to collect information themselves without the need for outside intervention. It includes the following papers:

A paper introducing the concept of Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation, whereby data and information is generated and used by local people.

A paper introducing the Methodology for Participation Assessment (MPA), a form of participatory research that builds on other methods by collecting quantitative data, rather than qualitative information.

A paper detailing the development and use of coding in community development schemes around the UK.
