Successful Participatory Budgeting – What, How and for Whom?
This article discusses participatory budgeting (PB), and especially the ways it can be deemed successful. Despite PB’s noteworthy global diffusion, the ways to assess its successes have not evolved at the same pace. Specific basic requirements have been set out for PB, as well as ways of measuring different aspects of PB, but no deeper knowledge on the evaluation for successful PB has been developed. In this paper we approach this matter via a case-study that we use to identify the different success-factors of PB. This mixed-methods study affirms previous studies results on the meaningfulness of early goal setting in PB, and also the diverse ways in which PB can be viewed as a success or failure.
