Another interesting example of citizens and aid agencies using social media for community empowerment/development. Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, is a city suburb. Since 2009 they have been creating a free open map of facilities and providing news services for local citizens and community activists. http://mapkibera.org/
The blog http://www.mapkibera.org/blog/ provides descriptions of the implementation of the project which discusses the uses and promotion of mapping technology.
