Introduction
Action research is on the way to becoming an essential approach for the peace work of the Civil Service for Peace (SCP) networks. We have therefore undertaken to share here a number of research-action initiatives in Cameroon, a synthesis of research projects in the DRC, but also the initial situation and the research questions that arise in Sierra Leone in the midst of the Ebola epidemic.
We added theoretical and practical elements because there is not a single « right » approach to action research. The demand for methodological rigor and the involvement of the stakeholders, using tools that facilitate better communication, makes it necessary to take into account the experiences of the people concerned. There are currently a significant number of initiatives and methodologies developed in Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa that can be appropriated. We also tried to clarify the link between action research and peace work from our point of view.
We hope that these texts can be useful on the different territories where you intervene and look forward to receiving descriptions of your experiences and the tools you have developed.
Good reading and good work
