Legislation regarding the regulation of Participatory Budgeting experiences
_

Sporadic experiences.​

Outstanding innovation
​_

The participatory budget is a management tool that is used, especially at the municipal level, with the objective of identifying priorities and determining the amounts and destinations of a percentage of the budgetary items of public expenditure. This innovation has not been institutionalized in Guatemala, although a legal framework of decentralization and citizen participation exists that allows these experiences to be carried out at the local level. Such experiences have been implemented in the municipalities of Amatitlán, San Martín Sacatepéquez and Uspantán Quiché. Unlike other countries in the region, this participatory innovation has not been implemented through any digital medium.​
