It draws on the expertise of guest editors to provide up-to-the minute accounts of the development and use of participatory methods in specific fields. Since its first issue in 1987, Participatory Learning and Action has 52 provided a forum for those engaged in participatory work ­ community workers, activists, and researchers ­ to share their experiences, conceptual reflections and methodological innovations with others, providing a genuine `voice from the field'. It is a vital resource for those working to enhance the participation of ordinary people in local, regional, national, and international decision making, in both South and North. 52 52 ISSN: 1357-938X ISBN: 1 84369 575 8 International Institute for Environment and Development 3 Endsleigh Street 52 London WC1H 0DD, UK Tel: +44 20 7388 2117 Fax: +44 20 7388 2826 Email: pla.notes@iied.org Participatory Learning and Action website: www.planotes.org IIED website: www.iied.org 52 ...
