Participatory action research: A practical guidebook for civil society organizations

<jats:p>This guidebook by Busara provides a practical introduction to Participatory Action Research (PAR) for civil society organizations, governments, and practitioners seeking to build more meaningful community engagement. Grounded in behavioral science and Busara's collaborative AUDAS research framework, it equips practitioners with practical methods to co-create research, generate evidence with communities rather than about them, and translate findings into collective action. The guidebook combines step-by-step guidance, case studies, and field-ready tools to strengthen participatory programming across governance, development, and public policy.</jats:p>
