César Silva is the co-founder of WireMaze, Portuguese company specialized in the digital transformation of local government. In this podcast, Amelia Loye and César discuss how Participatory Budgeting (PB) is transforming the relationship between local communities and public institutions.
Participatory budgeting provides an opportunity for community to engage in processes of deliberation upon the allocation of public funds. The lack of trust in political processes decreases when people get involved in their city’s PB process.
