Résumé : The practices used to support people living in poverty who are participating as co-researchers in a participatory action research (PAR) project have been little documented. After presenting the framework for carrying out a PAR on food security, we discuss the significant challenges encountered in sustaining the participation of the most marginalized people, beyond the alibi role to which they are too often confined, including the creation of bonds of trust, the development of a shared vision, the identification of constraints to participation, and the consideration of power relations. We present action strategies developed based on a guide co-constructed by our research team. We suggest ways to promote the deployment of participatory practices in the governance of research projects.
