The manual contains a variety of toolboxes that are designed to provide quick and easy access for researchers, local administration and urban planning practitioners to a range of tools. These tools are design to cover each stage of a participatory needs assessment (PNA) that seeks the engagement and participation of a local community. It is designed and composed through pooling knowledge and experience from different entities and groups (official and independent/ national and international) that are working closely with local communities in participatory approaches. It brings together and harmonizes diverse tools and approaches that have been developed over the years by those entities and groups.
