participatory budget: decide how budget is spent together, transparently & democratically
Participatory budgets brings transparency to how a given budget can be spent by the community. From defining a global budget, to facilitate proposals collection, to voting and implementation follow-up, participatory budgets have everything you need to build trust through real community impact.
who is it for?
Participatory budgets are made for communities that want a real say in how shared resources are used. Associations, NGOs and cooperatives can involve their members in deciding where funding goes. Cities can open up public spending and urban planning, earning citizens’ trust through visible results.
