Citizens decide how the local budget is spent
Participatory budgeting is a democratic process that allows citizens to have a say in how public funds are spent. It involves a collaborative decision-making process that empowers citizens to propose and vote on projects that they believe would benefit their community. In participatory budgeting, citizens are invited to attend public meetings, discuss their ideas for community projects, and work together to develop proposals that can be funded through the public budget. The proposals are then reviewed by experts and made available for public voting. The projects that receive the most votes are then implemented. The goals of participatory budgeting include increasing transparency and accountability in public spending, promoting civic engagement and community building, and addressing social and economic inequalities by ensuring that public funds are allocated in a way that benefits the entire community.
