Community participation in sustainable irrigation research

Product Information

Many of the research projects commissioned by the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI) have adopted innovative approaches to achieve strong connections between the researchers and the rest of the community. Finding ways to include the practical knowledge that comes from the community into research is crucial to achieving a sustainable future.

This research bulletin outlines approaches to engaging with communities that have been successfully developed and applied by NPSI projects. The complementary nature of the processes is emphasised.
