Q.
what are the consrains and challenges of participatory budgeting.
what strategies can be used to overcome these contraints and challenges
A.
-
Participatory budgeting is an empowerment tool and as such needs to be developed and refined locally. Therefore the constraints and challenges tend to differ from place to place depending on the local context and the solutions to them need to be local. However, there is a page on our website about some of the more general risks and challenges, which can be found by clicking here
If you are looking at PB in a particular context and want to talk through the constraints and challenges in that context and how you might go about overcoming them, please do get in touch either by phone or email and we'd be happy to discuss it further.
