Participatory budgeting

The tool uses technology to include citizens in the decision-making process for their city’s budget. The benefits derive from the tool’s short-term results and concrete outcomes for those involved. For example, participatory health budgeting can lead to prioritization of and investment in public health issues addressing citizens’ real needs. It is a resource useful to identify common interests and concerns and linking people for joint action in public health, transparency in public health expenditure, encouraging accountability and responsibility of politicians. It might be useful for national governments, local authorities.
