Crowdsourcing for Economic Development and Good Governance

Crowdsourcing not only is useful in directly addressing governance issues, but also can indirectly influence governance by increasing market efficiency as well as by offering additional income sources, thus empowering small-scale producers and poor workers.

In addition, donors and development program implementers can use crowdsourcing as a cost-effective tracking and monitoring tool.
