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

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.
