Participatory Budgeting

Participatory budgeting is a type of participatory democracy, in which ordinary people decide how to allocate part of a municipal or public budget.

Participatory Budgeting generally involves several basic steps, namely:

• Community members identify spending priorities and select budget delegates
• Budget delegates develop specific spending proposals, with help from experts
• Community members vote on which proposals to fund
• The city or institution implements the top proposals
