Your Neighborhood Proposes Program
The Program Your Neighborhood Proposes (Span. Tu Barrio Propone) is an initiative of the Municipality of Quilmes, whereby a budget is allocated to each district of the municipality and neighbors are invited to meet in deliberative forums and formulate the projects in which the funds will be invested. After being formulated, the projects are uploaded to a website. Citizens who did not attend the forums can also upload additional projects. Finally, citizens vote in person on the projects they consider best for their neighborhood, and the municipality finances and implements the winning projects.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
