Overview of Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting is a process that empowers communities to decide how to spend a portion of a budget to improve their area. It involves community members coming together to write the rules and collect ideas on how to allocate funds. The ideas are then reviewed and vetted by committees based on need, feasibility, and impact. The final projects are put to a vote, and the projects with the most votes are implemented. Participatory budgeting marks a change in how communities govern and engage with their constituents.
