Tagged ItemsSome key ingredients for PBThe ingredients of Participatory Budgeting will vary according to the local context but an evaluation of the pilot PB pilot projects in the UK identified some common factors.
The issue of representationOne of the most common questions the PB Unit is asked at conferences, seminars, and training events is about representation. There are two main issues that are commonly raised: how important is it that different groups are fairly represented and how do you go about ensuring fair representation and how do you manage the potential of particular individuals or groups 'hijacking' an event by getting all their supporters to vote for their project? This page aims to address some of those issues and help organisers think through the risks around representation.
Welcome Facilitators!This section is here for all the practitioners out there - those people organising, managing, running, sorting, PB events whether they be public sector officers, community activists or even our own associates.
Why do PB?
How to get people on boardAs with anything new, there'll be those that see PB as an opportunity and there'll be those that see it as a threat. Here's some pointers on how to get those people who feel threatened to see it more as an opportunity.
PB AssociatesWe have a number of associates based around the country who are able to come and help facilitate PB for your particular situation.
The Participatory Budgeting ToolkitWe have developed a handy toolkit to help you implement PB in your areas. You can either download it or request a paper/hard copy
Voting methodsVoting is a crucial part of the PB process - whether that's done in a single event, multiple events or remotely. This page looks at different methods of voting and their pros and cons.
