Friends, pl. see at this link, and attached, an article on the use of a participatory assessment/research tool on transformations, based on the Vikalp Sangam (Alternatives COnfluence, India) framework. This approach and tool emerged as part of an action research project Acknowl-EJ a few years back. The article is based primarily on the use of the tool with three collectives/communities in India and Denmark in the last couple of years; the origin of the tool, and  some of its other uses.
