Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA)

Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) is a method used to gather quick, practical insights about rural communities. It involves small-scale, informal research techniques such as discussions, observations, and interviews to understand local needs, practices, and resources. RRA emphasizes the active participation of local people and aims to collect relevant information efficiently, helping policymakers and development workers design appropriate interventions. It is valued for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to adapt to specific local contexts without extensive formal surveys.
