Prajateerpu: A Citizens Jury /Scenario Workshop on Food and Farming Futures for Andhra Pradesh, India
Prajateerpu (translation: ‘people’s verdict’) has been devised as a means of allowing those people most affected by the ‘Vision 2020’ for food and farming in Andhra Pradesh (AP, India) to shape a vision of their own. The Government of AP has developed Vision 2020 as a strategy for development over the next twenty years, partly funded by the World Bank and the UK Department for International Development. Extensive discussion between partners at the local, national and international level, including community organisations, development NGOs, academics and policymakers informed the formulation of the methodology for Prajateerpu. It uses a combination of a citizens jury and a scenario workshop.
