Participatory budgeting is a democratic process in which citizens have direct say over how public funds are spent. It is a way of involving citizens in the decision-making process and ensuring that their voices are heard. Participatory budgeting has been used in cities and towns around the world, and it has the potential to change democracy by making it more inclusive, transparent, and accountable.

- A budget is allocated for the participatory budgeting process.

- It is accountable. Participatory budgeting is accountable to the citizens, and the decisions that are made are based on the votes of the people.

Participatory budgeting can be a powerful tool for change, but it is important to be realistic about the challenges and to make sure that the process is implemented in a way that is inclusive, transparent, and accountable.
