Today, in the practice of development research, we know that the causes of poverty can be multidimensional, the analysis should be based on the local context, and then develop targeted strategies to reduce poverty, therefore this multidimensional analysis requires a much larger scale of research, in other ways, it needs broader participation of stakeholders involved in each part of this process, therefore, through participatory research, it can deepen the understanding of poverty in terms of different perspectives, would ultimately impact the decision-making process. Hence participation has become a focal point and gained more and more attention in poverty assessment (Lararus, 2008). Introduction The method by which Participatory Poverty Assessments (PPA) has provided an effective way to reduce poverty through public action, uses participatory research methods to analyze poverty from the perspective of the poor and, through the poor, decide which part should be improved on a priority basis. And it has also helped influence public policy making for poverty reduction (Norton, 2001). History PPAs can be defined as a research method that analyzes poverty factors through different perspectives, especially including poor views, and then improves the situation by influencing public policies (Stephen and Norton,1995). In the 1990s, the World Bank was focusing on developing approaches that could assess the level of poverty in all countries receiving aid to reduce poverty, PPAs were one such dominant approach that studied country poverty, The term PPA was created in 1992 by the World Bank. Before PPAs, most research methods were just basic…half paper…preservation and analysis. But in many cases, these requirements are difficult to meet (Robb, 2002). The Future of PPAs As the environment changes, more challenges will emerge, PPAs must continue to constantly adjust their structure to adapt to the new context (Larazus,2008). At the moment, PPAS has already achieved some results, it invites the poor to participate in this research process, adding the point of view of the poor, but in reality the property is still largely controlled by most of the donor institutions, which have a strong influence on research, therefore, for PPAs, in the next stage of development, will have to solve this problem, strengthen the ability of the poor to involve themselves in the policy-making process and balance the power of the authority. It is necessary to clearly understand the rights and duties of the poor in the local environment (Norton,2001).
