DevCAFE is a participatory platform that engages citizens and communities from developing regions to collectively assess conditions, needs, and outcomes of development projects

DevCAFE is a project developed from the Collaborative Assessment and Feedback Engine (CAFE), an open source, e-participation platform that provides participants dynamic visual feedback about their position on key social issues, relative to other participants.

The CITRIS Connected Communities Initiative supports collaborative discovery, design, and governance through new technologies that enhance education, creative work, and public engagement.
