It seems similar to the PRA (Participatory Rural Analysis) approach of previous decades. Is it different?
Tell me me more about what you do. Based on your information it would great to hear more of the how to's regarding your work. How exactly does the work your doing impact the field. I'm very interested in the sanitation aspects of your work, supply chain and distribution.
Oh, and welcome to the tools group. The reason I created the group is to empower people with field techniques that develop their business capacity.
Warm regards

I'm new to the network and your profile struck a chord for 2 points for me:
1. I am also a social entrepreneur, and
2. My last venture was actually dealing with malaria. I along with some partners developed a mosquito repellent candle made from pyrethrum, which I know Johnson uses in their products. Our main customers were in Nairobi slums.
Its only a pity that there are such few insecticide products on the local market with py-oil. Anyway my new venture is based on providing information to the youth to create their businesses.
I would be interested to know about the sanitation venture. Best, Fiona
