Process Approach

A Process Approach is the mode of implementation namely creating opportunities and space for change managers (person/organisation playing a catalytic role) to understand systems and to initiate processes that allow sensitization on pro-poor concerns followed by translating these into actions, which result in creating examples on the one hand and attitudinal changes within the participating institutions on the other hand.

Therefore the programme is a continuing process accessible to outside influences. Individuals / groups / organizations who are involved in activities should enter into a learning process. The process consists of continuous learning loops of action, reflection and adaptation in which the actors gain tacit and explicit knowledge. As a result of the learning process, the programme design and activities can change several times as actors engage in dialogue with the self, each other and their former decisions. Thus, the actor’s learning becomes both subjected to and the cause of programme fluctuations.

The process approach requests for a focus on monitoring and recording the process. The output of monitoring –can be soft (stories) or hard (quantifiable data) - contributes to reflection and functions as a catalyst for the learning process. It also helps in understanding what the circum-stances were, what took place and what were the results.
