N2 - The health emergency of COVID-19 brought particular challenges to vulnerable regions, especially in the global South. Local governments were faced with new tasks and risk situations, and the need for rapid and effective responses. Analyzing the program 'Lima te cuida' as a case study of the use of resources and communication, we show a successful experience of technology-focused decision making, and social participation, through the use of geo-referencing to identify and prioritize intervention areas. This in turn leads to interdepartmental collaboration, rational use of resources, and empowerment of local communities towards solid governance that both solves problems in a more practical way and gives feedback to the authorities in identifying specific problems and possible solutions.
