The Setting
![Page 3: Beyond Voice_Action Learning Case Study_CEPA](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce786abb61eb2a058b4858/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Setting
• Active Citizens’ Development Network (ACDN)
• ACDN = Three clusters of community level
groups from three Provinces : North, East and
Uva - agriculture, fisheries
• Various forms of engagement with Local
Government Authorities: collaboration,
resistance, combination

What ACDN wanted know research
questions
![Page 5: Beyond Voice_Action Learning Case Study_CEPA](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce786abb61eb2a058b4858/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What ACDN wanted know : research
questions
• What have we done? Take stock of various interventions
(change processes)
• How have we done? Patterns of action Reconstruct
strategies (change strategies, abstraction)
• What worked (and did not work) and why ?
Failures/successes: context, conditions, factors (discern
dynamics of change, analysis)
• How to do things better? Learning Improved Practice

The Process
![Page 7: Beyond Voice_Action Learning Case Study_CEPA](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce786abb61eb2a058b4858/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Process
• Community functionaries and CEPA
collaboratively formulate the research questions
and methodology
• Community carries out the research : data
gathering, processing, analysis and
interpretation
• CEPA facilitates, (research) quality assures, and
documents the research process

The steps
![Page 9: Beyond Voice_Action Learning Case Study_CEPA](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55ce786abb61eb2a058b4858/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The steps• Collaboratively finalize purpose, research questions and
design
• Organize existing data: records from community group,
key person interviews (KPIs), Focus Group Discussions
(FGDs) with representatives of the community
• Story Telling Workshop – a multi-stakeholder exercise to
construct the narrative for preliminary analysis and
interpretation [a variety of tools used]
• Triangulation and validation: secondary data, extra KPIs
and FGDs
