Legislation regarding the regulation of Participatory Budgeting experiences
_

Yes.

Outstanding innovation
​
_

For municipalities with several zones (administrative division), two zones are connected to become one in order to facilitate the development of the zonal forums. The use of community radios and social networks (WhatsApp) to raise awareness and mobilize communities around the PB process.

Principal tendencies detected
​
​_

Technical and Financial Partners (PTF) receive a large number of requests from municipalities to support in terms of Participatory Budgeting; Improvement of trust between leaders and the population and of tax revenues for municipalities; Strong involvement of women and young people and consideration of their specific needs in municipal priorities.

OTHER INFORMATION
​
​_

The number of PTFs available to support the entire PB process is limited, hence many municipalities want to implement them but due the lack of resources, the process is not launched. Out of 266 municipalities, 50 have been developed PB experiences but the challenge to cover all municipalities still remains.
NGOs specialized in supporting municipalities in the field of PB are unequal. There is lack of networking initiatives, shared experiences, capitalization workshops and harmonization of the approach and tools. This is despite the existence of a national guide to PB.
