Venn Diagram

Overview

Venn diagrams in PRA map the relationships between community institutions — their relative importance, accessibility, and overlap. FieldSocio captures these as structured data.

Creating a Venn Diagram

  1. Select Venn Diagram from PRA Tools
  2. Add institutions — government offices, NGOs, schools, health centers, religious bodies, market actors
  3. Set attributes for each:
    • Size (importance to the community)
    • Position (proximity/accessibility)
    • Overlap with other institutions (collaboration)
  4. Record participant discussion about why institutions are positioned as they are

Output

  • Visual diagram with sized and positioned circles
  • Institution metadata and participant explanations
  • Session notes
