Participatory Analysis for Community Action (PACA) Training Manual (PDF)
This revised manual continues to be a core resource for use in pre-service training or in-service training to teach Peace Corps trainees and Volunteers asset-based participatory approaches to community development. As in the original manual, readers learn specific tools like community mapping, transects and seasonal calendars that may be used with groups within communities to help them identify their collective resources, needs and priorities. The book also reinforces a process to ensure community members are not excluded from the planning process due to economic status, sex, age, race, religion and other factors. Trainers will appreciate the updated examples and the suggestions for integrating PACA training with other essential training sessions.

Using Participatory Analysis for Community Action Idea Book (PDF)
Once Volunteers are trained in participatory analysis for community action (PACA) techniques and processes (see the PACA Training Manual [ICE No. M0053]), they can use this Idea Book to further their knowledge of PACA and begin to implement the concepts with their communities. This book describes how Peace Corps Volunteers can maximize the Peace Corps' capacity-building approach to development by using participatory activities to better understand the impact of gender roles and relations in community development. Most importantly, this book gives concrete ideas and examples to help Volunteers put the analysis gained from the activities into action.
