The objective of this good practice fact sheet is to provide guidance on using remote sensing technology in a developing country environment, in particular to verify infrastructure rehabilitation. The document explores how the technology can be used to monitor improvements made as part of a Cash for Work programme, providing accountability to donors. It also highlights the benefits to local communities, through increased employment opportunities and restoration of critical productive assets that can help them to enhance their livelihoods.
