Samenvatting	A participatory single case study is a qualitative design that examines one bounded case in depth while actively involving community members, practitioners, or participants as co-researchers throughout the inquiry. It blends Yin's case study rigor — triangulated evidence, thick description of context — with participatory action research values of collaboration, equity, and action. The result is both a rich, contextual understanding of the case and a knowledge-building process that serves the people within it.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
