Legislation regarding the regulation of Participatory Budgeting experiences
_

Yes. The community budget development guidance letter indicates that a participatory approach to budget development is preferred. In addition, some articles of the Decentralization Act are very favorable to the Participatory Budgeting process.​

Outstanding innovation
​
_

The main innovation is that the approach promotes revenue mobilization by involving the actors of the Neighborhood Development Committees (CDQs); traditional chiefs and religious leaders.

Principal tendencies detected
​
​_

Significant increase in the participation of civil society organizations in the investment prioritization process. We also note the availability of traditional chiefs (canton chiefs, district chiefs) and religious leaders to get involved in raising awareness among the population about the payment of local taxes.

The Territorial Communities Support Fund, which should provide resources for investments, is not yet operational.
