Local Initiatives Support Program in Russia

A paper by the World Bank that evaluates the impacts of participatory budgeting programs implemented through Russia's Local Initatives Support Program (LISP).

The paper reviews the performance of the LISP as an instrument for directly addressing the needs of the population to access socioeconomic infrastructure, for increasing public confidence in self-governance frameworks and institutions through dialogue and community budgeting consultations, and for strengthening the capacity for local self-governance. The paper does this by looking at historical and survey data from the implementation of the LISP methodology as part of regional programs in Russia.
