The Field Tools Section is meant as a pool of information, providing instruments at hand for all users dealing/planning to deal with participation.  

The core of this section is a collection of participatory field tools, methods and approaches developed or applied by FAO. Each item is presented with comprehensive descriptions, information on application possibilities and contact links to experts and further information.  

As this database offers a number of detailed search options - yet in a simple and user-friendly way – it enables the user to find the very instrument that matches his application context best.  

Over time this section will be expanded to include other methodologies developed outside FAO. Therefore, you are invited to contribute to this section by sharing with us participatory methodologies that your organisation/institution may have created or developed further (see questionnaire information).
