I am Justus M. Kavoi, a senior researcher with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), currently in the final year of my PhD studies (Agricultural extension) at Egerton University, Njoro, Kenya. 



My observations on the on-going discussions about participatory procedures in impact assessment are that, there is need to have a blend of the two sides of the coin: 1) Embrace participation/involvement of all concerned stakeholders, especially the farming community on one side because they are better placed to state whether or not the project under review has had any impact on their livelihoods or not and if they could provide evidence to support their information, and, 2) have additional independent inputs from external actors. 



A combination of the two is more likely to provide evidence-based findings and conclusions of the impact assessment being carried out.
