Participatory Budgeting can be used to solicit community feedback to identify, discuss, and prioritize public spending projects.
It provides 24/7 access to an organization, and the location-enabled project ideas drive community engagement and help efficiently triage ideas to the person or department responsible for project scoping. Input gathered in the public application often makes up for gaps in official knowledge and brings the people and their government closer together as a community. It also allows historically disenfranchised groups to participate, leading to new ideas in government. Participatory Budgeting is typically implemented by planning departments, public works agencies, and other local government agencies that want to increase transparency and solicit feedback from the public and ultimately build a community in which everyone’s voice can be heard.
The Participatory Budgeting solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you solicit project ideas from the public, triage and monitor these ideas, and incorporate popular ideas in future capital improvement plans.
