Welcome to the Grenada Maco Meter! The Grenada Maco Meter is where we practise "mindin' and advertising community business"; an eParticipatory Community Development Website developed by People in Action as a support system to community development. In Caribbean a "maco" is a person who knows all that goes on or "minds people business".
The "maco meter" is the person you can go to who would know all or find out what information you are seeking on anything or anyone. We advertise community plans, needs and achievements to local and international Funding Agents, interest groups and volunteers.
We invite communities, NGO, consultants and generally interest persons to join our site. PIA believes that stakeholder involvement in development and dissemination of information are key to an evolutionary process. The foundation of sustainability is the understanding our resources, information sharing, networking and stakeholder ownership.
PIA understand "revolution" to be:
"a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, esp. one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence."
PIA understand "evolution" to be:
"a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form, a process of developing.
Thus we seek to bring “revolutionary” ideas to fruition in an “evolutionary” manner, learning from our past, understanding our assets and researching our possibilities. We seek to engage & mobilize all willing and able members of the community, "for the people, by the people and with the people". We provide you with a place to show off and advertise community development; we believe that we can all learn from each other. We believe that "knowledge is power" so we are an information provider and that information sharing is the backbone of sustainability. We encourage empowerment and independence so we provide information, consultation, facilitation and training; “providing fishing rods, not fish".
“Long Live Our Evolution”

Geotourism is tourism that sustains, or even enhances, the
geographical character of a place, such as its culture, environment,
heritage, and the well-being.
