Legislation Regarding the Regulation of Participatory Budgeting Experiences
Currently, there is no specific legislation/regulation of participatory budgeting. State institutions can use or not this methodology on a voluntary basis.
Outstanding Innovation
The country has institutionalized the Local Coordination Structures (SLC, Structure Local de Concertation) to ensure transparency, social accountability and citizen engagement at municipal level. Communes can work with the SLCs during Participatory Budgeting processes to emulate a feedback mechanism. Among others, the SLCs evaluate local public services as a basis for municipal budget planning and implementation cycles.
Principal Tendencies Detected
Participatory Budgets in the country tend to integrate the funding (partial or total) of basic public services such as primary schools and basic health centers.
Other Information
There is a network of a Participatory Budgeting practices led by the Mayor of the rural commune of Alakamisy.
