PIM is a concept for guiding self-help projects in development cooperation. The actors involved carry out the monitoring themselves, and because PIM assumes that these actors are autonomous, the monitoring system of the self-help groups and the development organisations are separate, comparisons are periodically made and planning accordingly adapted. The main purpose of PIM is to document socio-cultural impacts. By doing so it initiates and reinforces learning processes, and complements more technically or economically oriented monitoring.
