| Name | SEAGA Field Level Handbook |
| Description | Wilde, V. 2001. SEAGA Field Level Handbook. Socioeconomic and Gender Analysis Programme. FAO.The SEAGA Field Handbook is written for development agents who work directly with local communities in developing countries. It is intended for outsiders such as extensionists, government and non-government field workers, and private- and public-sector development consultants, and for insiders such as community organisers and leaders of local groups and institutions. The purpose of this Handbook is to support participatory development planning at the community level. Using the tools provided in this Handbook will help outsiders and insiders to work together to: * Identify key development patterns * Understand the livelihood strategies of different people, and * Build consensus about development priorities and action plans.This SEAGA Field Handbook incorporates ideas and methods from people of all regions of the world who share a commitment to participatory development. It is based on actual experiences in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, but can be used by those working in all sectors of rural development. While building on earlier learnings, there are three things that are different about this Handbook. First, explicit attention is given to the linkages among economic, environmental, social and institutional patterns that together constitute the development context. Both opportunities and constraints for development are identified. Second, understanding gender, wealth, ethnicity, caste and other social differences in communities is considered fundamental to understanding livelihood strategies and development priorities. The poor and marginalised are ensured a voice. And third, this Handbook provides toolkits specifically designed to support a participatory process that first, focuses on an analysis of the current situation, and second, focuses on planning for the future. The toolkits consist of a number of rapid rural and participatory rural appraisal tools, but include also a series of SEAGA Questions to facilitate and deepen analysis. |
