Session 8: Triangulation
Question and answer:
Ø Question 1: In your everyday domestic or social life, think of three examples in which you triangulate information
Ø Question 2: How might we triangulate information in PIA
Triangulation• A method of cross checking qualitative
information.• Information about the same thing can be
collected in 3 sources to make sure the information is reliable and not biased.
• Use multi-disciplinary team (i.e. people with different skills, experience & view points) to collect the information & mix techniques
Flexibility & innovation counts
Present results back to the community
• This final stage involves presentation of the PIA findings back to the community
• If a CBO or local group is involved in the project, they should receive a copy of the results (and the final report).
• This stage is a final opportunity for local people to verify that the results are correct.
• A “feedback” workshop can also be an opportunity to plan further work to improve the project.
