Outstanding Innovation
There are no real innovations, but there is a new trend towards ‘earmarked’ budgets, especially designed for a policy field (e.g. youth) in a community and it’s needs. It is open for public competition; the best project proposal will be selected publicly and in a transparent process.
Principal Tendencies Detected
The number of Participatory Budgets in Germany has increased over the last years due to the emergence of citizen budgets. The citizen budget offers a limited amount of money to the best project idea. The best project is chosen in a participatory process.
Participatory Budgeting Processes Promoted by Other Type of Institution
There are very few examples where local or NGO’s promoted and initiated the PB, one example is the city of Solingen.
NUmber of Participatory Budgeting Initiatives Developed by Capital Cities
None. Berlin is not counted as one city but rather the single parts (Bezirke) of the city are taken into consideration.
