Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a transformative civic process that enables direct community input into the budget process, builds stronger and more resilient communities by actively involving residents, especially from historically marginalized groups, in the decision-making process. PB fosters deeper democracy, creates transparency, and allows for a fairer distribution of public resources.
