Wicked Problems
• The problem is not understood until after a solution is formulated;
• Stakeholders have different world views and different frames for understanding a problem;
• Constraints and resources to solve the problem change over time;
• The problem is never solved

Collective Action
• “Like nothing else, dealing with climate change calls upon us to engage in effective collective decision making.”

Collective knowledge
• The challenge is less to determine ‘a’ solution
• Draw on many different voices and ‘knowledges’ of different stakeholders.
• Mediate a course between many perspectives

Participatory research
• Engages people who may otherwise be subjects of research or recipients of interventions as co-researchers
• Places the capacity for generating and using knowledge in the hands of people who are trying to improve their own lives.

Conventional communication
• Crafts and sends ‘messages’ to ‘target audiences’
• Often one-way
• ‘Push delivery’ systems
• Individuals as consumers

Participatory communication
• Catalyzes ‘local’ creation, documentation, exchange and dissemination of knowledge by and of communities
• Contributes to inclusive decision making processes
![Page 13: Social learning, communication, engagement and ICT4ag](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55507513b4c9052d158b4e10/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Social learning
• Processes in which people learn through interacting with each other
• Since decisions need to be collective, the learning needs to be collective.

Hypothesis
Many of our ICT4ag (R4D) approaches are not as ‘social’ as they could be to
support participatory, collective, inclusive development processes

Which ICT4ag approaches, tools, technologies really support
engagement and participation in development processes?
