The Rapid Rural Appraisal Handbook

The Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) Handbook is a guide for quickly gathering and analyzing information about rural communities. It helps researchers, planners, and development workers understand local needs, resources, and social dynamics efficiently. Using simple techniques like interviews, group discussions, and observation, RRA aims to collect useful insights without long surveys. This approach allows for more informed decision-making and tailored development projects that respect local contexts. Overall, it’s a practical tool to understand rural areas better and support sustainable development efforts.
