2 COMMUNITIES FOR CHILD WELLBEING: TOOLS FOR CHILD FOCUSSED PROGRAMME DESIGN VISIT 1 World Vision Lao PDR Copyright © 2009 Slide 2 Sources, References and Acknowledgements The PLA Tools and Lesson Plans featured in this document are based on the decades of field experience of thousands of development workers and on newly developed material. In addition the core ideas learned from these varied practitioners have been thoroughly tested and refined for the communities with whom World Vision Laos works. As a result, there are no direct references for these tools, but the authors wish to acknowledge the work that has come before them in developing these tools and materials. The content of this PLA process has been developed, tested and documented by Gisela Ervin-Ward and Daniel Matter. Technical input was provided by Seamus Anderson, Pieter-Jan Bouw and Emma Townsend-Gault. Field testing and subsequent feedback was considerably enhanced by the Design, Monitoring and Evaluation and ADP Staff of Luang Prabang and Savannakhet Provinces of World Vision Laos. Their patience with the difficulties of an iterative process is very much appreciated. Particular thanks goes to Kongchay Vixathep, Manichanh Phongsavatdy, Latthaya Kho and Houmpanh Soulivongxay. The development of this process was supported both financially and technically by World Vision’s Children in Ministry Department (particularly Paul Stephenson), World Vision UK and World Vision US. Regional field expertise was provided by World Vision Cambodia and World Vision Vietnam. An international technical advisory group met regularly to support the process, and particular thanks must go to the following people: Sovithyea Chea, Deng Xiong Chounu, Marion Cowell, Prasanna DeSilva, Bill Forbes, Nigel Goddard, Vatsana Inthavong, Samson Jeyakumar, Greg Kearnes, Kerry Anne McKenzie, Vithanya Noonan, Micael Olsson, Sirisouk Phanthavongs, Brett Pierce, Loretta Rose, Siddhartha Sahu, Viphakorn Sipadith, Roger Steele, Paul Stephenson.
