Approaches to implementing Community monitoring/accountability

Establishing accountability in community development programs has historically been difficult. A quantitative approach ignores important aspects of the community development process, while more qualitative approaches often fail to account for how community development contributed to concrete impacts. Methods of establishing accountability are reviewed. The use of interpretative technologies employed in natural resource and recreation fields is suggested as a supplemental technique for accountability purposes Although it is difficult to implement but we are trying to establish accountability through our work at community level.
