The handbook is a collaborative document written with the contribution of members of the 28 partners and 5 observers, that constitute the URBiNAT Community of Partners. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the project are, in this sense, inclusive and interdisciplinar, because it integrates the perspective, the expertise and the experience from partners that have different backgrounds and different role, as academics, municipalities, companies and associations.

[PDF Download] Community-Based Monitoring
Tool for participatory decision-making improvement. It promotes an organized way of collecting ongoing or recurring information by residents, to be used by local governments and civil society, for planning, budgeting, and implementing local development programs, as well as for monitoring and evaluating their performance. Its activities cover community mapping, mobilization, capacity building, and information dissemination. Its benefits include:
- identification of problems and solutions in areas with fragmentation of needs and different vulnerable groups, which make it difficult to provide standardized solutions
- collective elaboration of simple and intuitive indicators
- contrast to lack of transparency and clientelism
- creation of relations of mutual trust between citizens and public officials
- awareness about policy-making helping citizens to understand the constraints of public action.
