The community use audio and video to capture their local problems (on mental health) and feed the outputs back to the community via loudspeakers, radio, cable television.

This case makes interesting use of audio and video technology to empower local communities.  While it is not using the latest technology it is proving how ICTs can give a voice to a community and bring a community to a common understanding of  their problems.
