Community-x-ray: considering real life impact with community-driven tools

Community-x-ray Project is experimenting new approaches to research, monitoring and evaluation in northern Mozambique. Innovations being developed and tested propose a different approach to development by implementing a set of technologies and community-driven tools to provide NGOs, companies, associations and others with useful information about projects' social impacts and potential interventions. Community-x-ray is empowering because it gives expression to what is important to people in their everyday life. That is, people self-identifying relevant activities and the related time allocation. Its tools and techniques ("Field Diaries" and "Photo Project") allow project implementers and the community alike to consider real life impact.
