Presentation
The significant spread of Participatory Budgeting has posed challenges in terms of the methodological and deliberative attributes of these processes, essential aspects for their credibility and sustainability.
Aware of this situation, the Network of Participatory Municipalities promoted a debate among its members, with the aim of establishing parameters of demand that these initiatives must ensure, as a safeguard for sustained growth and progressive affirmation in society.
The work carried out led to the creation of a Participatory Budgeting Quality Index. This was publicly presented at a session held as part of the European Local Democracy Week.
