Technological barriers.
MINKE virtual access (VA) facilitates access to develop participatory monitoring without the need to have any technological skills, providing virtual training when required. MINKE VA will allow any interested group to participate, even small non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or local civil organisations with very limited technological capacity.
Knowledge barriers.
MINKE VA provides the specific tools and services that enable any interested party to participate, without the need for any prior knowledge, thus increasing the completeness of the final datasets.
Community recruitment and engagement barriers.
There is an implicit community linked to any participatory monitoring programme. Building and maintaining this community requires a considerable effort, resources and expertise. MINKE VA offers the possibility to set up new participatory projects within a consolidated community, with the capability of reaching the required completeness in relatively short periods of time.
