With the bibliography REU endeavoured to examine experiences in, and examples of, client-inclusive research, particularly in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries as well as transition economies of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The objectives were to (i) compile up-to-date information on participatory research in agriculture and natural-resource management (NRM); (ii) identify cases of participatory research in the focal region; and (iii) highlight success-stories from the focal region. Even after extensive research the authors have been able to present only a few examples from these regions. Unlike the "southern" developing countries, participatory research does not seem to play a prominent role in CEE and CIS countries. They have, therefore, included experiences with participatory research from the "south" and from developed countries, to show the relevance and advanced character of participatory research and hope such material will prove helpful for research managers, as a tool to more relevant, responsive and effective agricultural and NRM research.
