Municipal Participatory Budgeting
The Municipal Participatory Budget is a citizen exercise for the concerted identification of themes and projects of common interest to be executed by the local public administration. Its objective is to facilitate citizen participation and integration as well as to achieve a better knowledge of the conditions, needs and potential of the territory, so that the local government makes the best possible use of its resources. Individuals from the communities aged 14 years and up are able to participate.

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?
