Community-Driven Tools for Data Collection and Decision Making: The PISA Action Guide

by

Authors: PACT

The PARTICIPATORY INFORMATION SYSTEMS APPRAISAL (PISA) Action Guide systematically introduces and explains the concepts and strategies needed to make well informed, data-based decisions while empowering key stakeholders in the process. The action guide outlines team preparation activities, data collection methods, data analysis and action planning, and team learning & follow up activities. Local facilitators and key project stakeholders are actively involved in data instrument design, collection, reporting and analysis. Data collection methods are tailored for literate and pre-literate, urban and rural communities alike. A variety of techniques appropriate to the target community such as primary and secondary information sources, semistructured focus groups, and participatory mapping and modeling tools support effective assessment and decision making.

CHW Central is run by a team of dedicated volunteers and paid interns, with an annual operating budget of less than $20,000. In 2026, we have bold ambitions to further strengthen CHW associations, enhance opportunities for CHW organizing and information exchange, and make the latest research more accessible across the globe.

But we can’t do it without your help. With your donation of any amount, whether one-time or recurring, you will help us share the amazing work of community health workers and keep our resource platform free to all.
