The Missing Voices Approach Manual

The Missing Voices Approach developed by Practical Action seeks to proactively listen to the experiences of marginalized individuals to inform policies and practice that affect their lives. The approach is centred on building trust and actively listening to marginalized voices in a way that prioritizes anonymity, privacy, and confidentiality. This Missing Voices Approach manual provides guidance on how to implement the Approach to capture first-person perspectives of marginalized people to inform disaster risk management.
