Participatory tools can be used to facilitate the empowerment and participation of stakeholders within a community. Help a Child encourages partners to use participatory tools not only at the start but in each phase of the project: from context analysis till phase-out or even post-phase-out.

Participatory toolbox
Here you find all the tools described in The Participatory Toolbox Manual (2015), complemented with tools described in the Community Challenge as part of the updated program manual (2021). This collection of free tools is brought together by Help a Child. The tools can be used for various purposes:

• Awareness raising
• Information collection
• Data analyzing
• Planning
• Monitoring and evaluation

Of course, partners are free to use other tools as well. Do you have any suggestions for tools to add to this collection? Let us know!
