This book explores the practical delivery of participatory arts projects in international development. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of academics, international development professionals and arts practitioners, the book engages honestly with the competing challenges faced by the different groups of people involved. Participatory arts are becoming increasingly popular in international development circles, fuelled in part by the increased accessibility of audio-visual media in the digital age, and also by the move towards participatory discourses in the wake of the UN’s Agenda 2030. The book asks: What do participatory arts projects look like in practice, and why are they used as an international development tool? How can we develop practical and sustainable development projects on the ground, localising best practice according to cultural, economic and linguistic contexts? What are the enablers of, and barriers to, successful participatory initiatives, and how can we evaluate past projects to learn and feed into future projects? Written to appeal to both academics and practitioners, this book would also be suitable for teaching on courses related to participatory development, community arts, and culture and development.

"Participatory development was introduced as an alternative to the top-down development programs that dominated international development processes since World War II. The goal of participatory development was to ensure that the people participating in development programs could have some voice in how the programs were designed and implemented. However, critics of participatory development point out that participatory projects have largely failed to achieve their goal of incorporating participants' voices. Critics maintain that most participatory development projects are simply another form of top-down development placed in a new package. This thesis explores Theatre for Development (TFD) as a field which might offer some techniques to make participatory projects more truly participatory. I selected TFD because it is a field influenced by the pedagogy of Paulo Freire. Since Freire's work was one of the early influences on participatory research techniques in the early 1980s, it stands to reason that TFD might offer some techniques to make projects more closely reflect the initial goals of participatory development. Therefore, this thesis explores the question: 'Can TFD techniques address the critiques of participatory development methods?' To answer this question, I conducted fieldwork in Kenya during the summer of 2009 to analyze two TFD workshops I facilitated in a low-income settlement near Nairobi and a village in western Kenya. I argue here that theatre is already used by Kenyan community-based organizations to engage in the international development process, and that the act of performance engages participants in a visceral, creative activity which encourages an environment ripe for participation"--Abstract, p. iii.

Getting Heard: (Re)claiming Performance Space is the third in a series of publications on art, culture and society released by Twaweza Communications. The aim is to bring to the fore conversations taking place in Kenya about identity, creativity, nationalism and the generation of knowledge. The series is also about the pursuit of freedom through arts, media and culture. In Getting Heard the performance space is shown to offer wider possibilities for knowledge creation. It shows that in post-colonial Africa political leaders have consistently performed over their subjects at local and national levels. There is discussion of: Kenya National Theatre, Story Telling, Radio Theatre, Translation, African Languages, Music, Media and Mungiki This volume opens a window to our understanding of post-colonial Africa through performances.

Participatory approaches that involve local communities in their own development have gained substantial support among international donors over the past quarter-century and have become increasingly important in the work of the World Bank. Community participation is an approach to development that can be used with any Bank lending instrument and across sectors. Projects can involve communities in different ways--by sharing information, consulting, collaborating, or empowering them. The process of involving communities in project activities is also expected to contribute in most cases to communi.

The importance of involving the poor recipients in planning and implementing development policies has long been recognized, and has been the official aim of large donors, including the World Bank and major donor agencies. This text assesses their success and the results of the primary stakeholder participation achieved. It analyzes the institutional changes necessary for stakeholders to participate in decision-making, and the strategies and behaviour of other parties involved, including NGOs. From this review and analysis, it draws an important range of lessons for future donor and NGO policies and organizational reform.

How may the lives of individuals and a community be impacted by a durational applied theatre and arts-based project? What lessons does it provide for arts practitioners working for social change? Offering a unique account of the first 7 years of an on-going arts-based programme of research, creative activity and activism in a marginalized Ugandan community, this book presents the voices and insights of those involved in the form of articles and creative works. The long-term creative partnership between European and Ugandan academics, artists and an intergenerational community of Ugandan citizens led to a series of linked, arts-led, action research and impact projects aimed at informing and empowering a slum community in the city of Jinja in eastern Uganda. The projects addressed issues of environmental concerns, gender, sexual and reproductive health, domestic violence, corruption, housing, workplace insecurity and creativity. In this book, participants respond to work carried out using anthropology, theatre, film, photography, art, poetry, dance and music, arguing collectively that creativity is a powerful route to self and community realization and human development. The book illustrates the importance of on-going, long-term support when working with particularly disadvantaged people and demonstrates that the complex matrix of marginalization experienced by the poorest, requires responsive, multi-faceted action. This revelatory account shares failures, problems and successes in the voices of those who participated in making the work.
