Legislation Regarding the Regulation of Participatory Budgeting Experiences
There is no legislation at the national level of the PB, just the “free administration”; conducted by local authorities. At the local level, Municipal Councils hold deliberations procedures, not only to show political commitment but also to describe the process itself.
Outstanding Innovation
The experience itself is an innovation. We are trying to do a lot on persuading work with local elected officials to introduce them to the process and get them to join PB experiences. Thus, several elected officials have shown their enthusiasm for implementing the BP. There was a successful SMS vote on the projects. The SMSMOBILE-WEB application is being used to broaden the framework for citizen participation, transparency and accountability in these localities. It allows OSC at all levels to share information and communicate. This application has Pro SMS messages whose sender is “PB PROJECT”. It allows you to send SMS messages to all mobile phone numbers. It should be noted that at the opening and closing of each voting session, an information SMS is automatically sent to: Municipal Authorities, BP Project Management Teams, Heads of Implementation Structures, Community Facilitators and Local Coordinators. An SMS is also sent to the Program Officer Governance of the DUE.
Principal Tendencies Detected
There is an increase in citizen participation, more citizen empowerment, the appropriation of the projects by the inhabitants in which they are also the developers, the strengthening of local elected representatives-citizens relationships and also taking into.
Other Information
The process is relatively new and we are still working on it.
