Participatory Budget 2020
In 2020, the Peruvian district of Lince, created the Participatory Budget 2020. This mechanism serves to include citizens and the civil society into the planning of the budget of the public resources of the district. Efficient and just distribution of resources is expected from the dialogue and deliberation of a diverse group of voices coming from members of neighborhood councils, small business leaders and representants of vulnerable groups such as women, the elderly and the youth. The process of the Participatory Budget consists of multiple workshops in which participants will get trained first to then concrete agreements and specific projects for the budgeting.

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?
