‘Ketso’ means action in Lesotho, where it was invented in 1995
Ketso was used in Southern Africa to help communities change this...
Why was Ketso invented? Women didn’t tend to speak in mixed gender groups
Developed in PhD in the Planning Department at the University of Manchester
… working to develop a vision for a sustainable North Manchester
Local enthusiasm from the planning process moved the site from the 30th on the list….
... to first. The site received £1.7 million of Newlands funding.
Reaction from North Manchester Resident “Because a lot of people are like me and they are not good at speaking if there are more than two or three people around, but they have things to say. This is magnificent at getting people to participate, and very important”
More people began to ask for workshops, such as Manchester City Council…
… and the Environment Agency (regional stakeholder input into national policy)
Ketso has been used in contexts ranging from research with Tesco (over 200 staff)
… to engaging with stakeholders of all ages and backgrounds in health related issues
… to community development in England, Rwanda, South Africa, Bangladesh, Scotland
