What is Participatory Budgeting?Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. It enables taxpayers to work with government to make the budget decisions that affect their lives.In contrast to processes that allow community members to give input or feedback on budget decisions, participatory budgeting allows residents and stakeholders to actually make the choices that affect their lives.
