The discussion focused on Rapid Appraisal Methodologies (RAM) to be used at field level and during a project evaluation mission. The basic feature distinguishing RAMs from more "impressionistic" methodologies is the use of "triangulation" in order to cross-validate all findings. Triangulation means gathering data from (at least) 2 different sources - preferably using 2 different techniques (e.g. key informant interviews, focus groups, observation) - for each variable or issue being studied.
