Participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approaches now emphasise learning with and from local people in a relaxed and flexible way using powerful visualization of situations and knowledge generated through dialogue3.

The program had spillover effects, indirectly reducing dropout among older pupils in the class not deemed at-risk. These findings imply that age, and not orphanhood, was the main indicator of dropout risk and that when targeting criteria are considered carefully, flexible learning programs can reduce dropout substantially among vulnerable children.
