In a recent article on the outcome of a photovoice workshop run in Ma climate-smart village, Bernadette Joven details how the process of the workshop has led to the development of a farmer-led communications group. The group has been formed as a way to disseminate climate-smart agricultural technologies to neighbouring farmers and communities.
Mr. Tam, leader of Ma Village, explains the context and content of the exhibit.

Consider the core objectives of a photovoice workshop/process to be those outlined by Wang (1999):
- To record and reflect the commnity's strengths and concerns
- To promote critical dialogue and knowledge about personal and community issues through large and small group discussions (of the photographs)
- To reach policymakers
In light of these, the continuing pro-active engagement of the photovoice group in Ma village seems to have hit the mark.
