Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ensuring that all people, especially vulnerable groups, actively participate and influence decisions

The core principle of PLA (Participatory Learning and Action) is that all people, particularly vulnerable and weaker sections, have a right to actively and influentially participate in shaping decisions that affect their lives. This approach ensures that their views are not only heard but also play a significant role in shaping outcomes.
