A guideline for Nonglom village-led action research and their participatory action research process

Abstract

This guideline supports the Nonglom Wetlands Management Committee in conducting villageled action research to identify local challenges, explore solutions, and take collective action for sustainable wetland management. The research aims to produce tangible changes driven by local needs, such as improved fishing regulations. It also enhances local awareness and informs planning, co-management, and monitoring, aligning with the broader goal of building villagers’ capacity to document and communicate local knowledge for sustainable development.
