Abstract
In this section, we discuss some of the weaknesses of PRA and the limitations posed to the use of PRA as a methodology. No methodology is all-perfect and PRA is no exception to this general rule. PRA, alike other methodologies, has its own share of imperfections. The relevant issue in this context is first, what kind and how big are the imperfections and second, can they be overcome or minimised? Much depends on what the imperfections are and whether there are ways to bring the imperfections within reasonable limits in order to have better results from rural participation. Each PRA exercise is unique in its own way. In each case, it starts in its own manner and proceeds in its own style based on the principles of PRA and there can be no 'blue-print' recommended for a PRA session. The amount of learning which takes place in a PRA exercise and the data generated can vary from situation to situation.
