3“Maps are more than pieces of paper. They are stories, conversations, lives and songs lived out in a place and are inseparable from the political and cultural contexts in which they are used.” The general aims and specific objectives of participatory mapping initiatives vary significantly. This variation is directly related to the end-use to which these maps will be put, which in turn is influenced by the audience that will view and make decisions about the content of these maps. Maps may be made exclusively for internal community consumption or (more commonly) they may be used to communicate local land-related knowledge to outsiders.Many examples of IFAD projects referenced in this document focus on using maps as a mechanism to facilitate the communication of community spatial information to project management and local government to better target development interventions.
