PCA's work starts with
understanding what people’s
needs are and building on
their existing capabilities.
|
| |
|
|
|
The community sets the
agenda. The participants,
for example, design the APBC
programme. The field staff
are community mobilisers
rather than teachers. This
is part of our philosophy.
|
| |
|
|
|
We always seek to use
participatory methods.
Participants will tell us
what they want to do. We
don’t impose our own ideas.
|
| |
|
|
|
We plan for as long as
possible. Most projects
receive funding for 12
months. We believe, however,
that peace is a process that
takes much longer than this.
We therefore make long term
plans for our short term
funding. |
| |
|
|
|
We build long- term
relationships with people,
we encourage trust and
consistency. |
| |
|
|
|
We use a supportive and
exploratory style. Peace
work is not about us trying
to find quick answers. |
