The Participatory Research Network

The Participatory Research Network is a collaborative approach where community members, researchers, and stakeholders work together to investigate issues that matter to the community. Instead of researchers studying people from the outside, all parties share responsibilities, insights, and decision-making throughout the process. This approach ensures that research is relevant, respectful, and directly benefits the community, leading to more effective solutions and empowerment. It emphasizes partnership, co-creation of knowledge, and a commitment to social change, making research more equitable and impactful.
