Helping Communities Manage risks from the ground up.

Community members come together to decide which set of benefits are most appropriate for the community as a whole. The decision is based on local needs, their willingness to pay, and supply and demand of services. The MIA has developed 'game-like' tools to help community members manage the trade-offs in determining which benefits are the most essential. The tools are gender sensitive and can be used by both illiterate and innumerate persons.
