1.19. Photographs: What’s right with this picture?<br />
(Source: CHF)<br />
Introduction<br />
The photographs presented in this exercise are <strong>of</strong>ten used by development actors to invoke feelings <strong>of</strong><br />
sympathy and charity and to show what poverty looks like. Using a needs-based perspective, we would<br />
see many things that are ‘wrong’ with this picture. In this exercise, we challenge participants to look for<br />
what is ‘right’ with this picture and to identify the various assets that exist that <strong>of</strong>ten go unnoticed by<br />
development actors. These assets can be human, natural, physical, social or financial.<br />
Instructions<br />
1. Display the photo or pass it around so that everyone can see it. It is included in the <strong>Training</strong> Material<br />
Guide.<br />
