Participatory Budgeting Project
Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process that allows community members to directly decide how to allocate part of a public budget. Citizens can propose and vote on projects or initiatives that they believe will benefit their community, such as infrastructure improvements, social programs, or public services. This approach empowers residents to engage in local governance, ensuring their needs and priorities are addressed. PB fosters transparency, enhances civic engagement, and builds trust between citizens and government by involving people in decision-making about spending public funds.
