Community methodology - ICT Update, a current awareness bulletin for ACP agriculture: "A study by the Kyoto: Think Global, Act Local project shows that using free open source software for data collection can be efficient and cost-effective for forest communities.
Communities need to be able to accurately map and geo-reference forest resources to participate in carbon credit payment schemes. ICTs are essential for both the initial mapping process and for assessing, at a local level, changes in carbon stock and forest cover over time. However, most of the methods available make use of expensive software and mobile devices that are well beyond the reach of the budgets of communities and local NGOs."
