Auteurs : Eva Weltzien , Kirsten vom Brocke
Part of a series of factsheets and practical guides for conducting participatory variety evaluation with farmers. The series is focused on evaluating sorghum and pearl millet varieties but contains advice that would be helpful for a range of participatory research projects. It includes methods for identifying priority evaluation criteria with farmers, as well as different options for documenting farmers choices and evaluations. This is a guide to conducting an open-ended evaluation with farmers to collect qualitative data about their opinions. It is designed to be used when the researcher/NGO staff/development agent is not familiar with the farmers' opinions about a certain technology and wishes to explore the opinions and experiences of the farmers. The guide presents step by step guidance of how to conduct such an evaluation, examples of the kinds of questions that can be asked to obtain useful information, and how to document the results. Produced with the involvement of the following organisations: AMSP, AOPP, CIRAD, COPROSEM, ICRISAT, IER Institut d'Econmie Rurale, INERA, UGCPA, Union Locale des producteurs de Cereales de DioilaNote: This resource was added to this database as part of a migration of resources from the now defunct CCRP Sphaera platform, and is still awaiting a comprehensive review and quality check.
