PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Local self-government has autonomy in financing the needs of its community. At present, the impact of individual interest communities on the financing of regional development projects from general budgets (the so-called participatory budget) resonates. The intent of a participatory budget should be a permanent dialogue on the structural form of the Basic Economic Act of Self-Government between the active population and its elected representatives. It is therefore a process of democratic decision-making of citizens who decide on Allocation of part of the public budget through personal meetings or other forms of consensus. In other words, a participatory budget should be seen as a way of educating the public to actively decizion-making on local issues.

So, in an area where it is not easy to find measurement between real possibilities and expectations.
