这项研究揭示了参与式方法在政策研究中的力量和效用。它展示了可以利用穷人对自身现实的了解的做法和过程。通过比较和对比参与式方法的结果与更传统的家庭消费和支出调查的结果，该研究确定了村庄一级当地人民使用的贫困指标。它还说明使用这些措施如何导致关于贫穷的原因和性质的不同结论，并揭示最能解决这个问题的政策和体制方法，以及发展政策如何必须考虑到性别差异才能有效。该研究还揭开了地方层面社会资本概念的神秘面纱，并提供了可量化的证据，证明村庄层面的社会资本——具有特定特征的群体的成员资格——显著影响着家庭福利。
This study reveals the power and utility of participatory methods for policy research. It demonstrates practices and processes that can tap the knowledge the poor have about their own reality. By comparing and contrasting findings from participatory methods with findings from more conventional household consumption and expenditure surveys, the study identifies poverty indicators used by local people at the village level. It also shows how using these measures leads to different conclusions about the causes and nature of poverty and reveals the policy and institutional methods that can best address the problem and how development policies must take gender differences into account if they are to be effective. The study also demystifies the concept of social capital at the local level and provides quantifiable evidence that village-level social capital -- membership in groups with particular characteristics -- significantly affects household welfare.
