Tools for Community Participation. A Manual for Training Trainers in Participatory Techniques

This manual focuses on one approach to participatory training which PROWESS has applied in numerous projects and workshops. Intended primarily for the training of trainers in participatory techniques, it describes these techniques in a "how to" step-by-step fashion. This manual is also intended to be a "discussion starter" and delves into some of the political issues underlying participation and the often conflicting priorities of communities and development practitioners.

In a fix: The precarious geopolitics of phosphorus

Both nitrogen and phosphorous are essential to life. Phosphorous is a scarce resource and is the focus of intense geopolitical interest. Nitrogen, on the other hand, is a resource in plenty. But indeed, the world today faces a nitrogen deluge. That is because a lot of it exists in the form of waste. Now, nitrogen-bearing waste goes not back to the land but into water. This issue of "Down to Earth" deals with the question, whether it is possible "not to be at war" with these two elements.
