This report from EHP delineates the processes followed by and the principles and findings that emerged from a ten-day workshop on Participatory Community Health Enquiry. The workshop was held March 20-30, 2003, in Indore, India, with the NGO-CBO partners implementing the USAID EHP Urban Child Health Program. The purpose of the workshop was to enhance the program partners’ skills in: (1) conducting a participatory community enquiry with accurate triangulation and reporting of findings; (2) outlining and documenting a process through which a community takes ownership of the program objectives and processes; (3) prioritizing interventions based on community needs; and (4) planning subsequent actions. The workshop was designed specifically to guide urban health programs in the slums of Indore with limited access to and availability of health care facilities.
