PB in Africa training companion

A PB guide focusing on eastern and southern Africa, edited by UN-Habitat and MDP-SA.

This Training Companion on participatory budgeting in Africa is part of the effort to build the capacity of local government officials and their partners in introducing the practice to Africa.

The Companion was developed to provide users with information, tools, methodologies, case studies and tips on how participatory budgeting could be introduced and sustained. The materials in the Companion were collected from various local governments in Africa and other countries where participatory budgeting is being practiced. Users are encouraged to adopt the material to their local condition. The preparation of the Companion was initiated by UN-HABITAT in cooperation with ENDA-ecopop (Senegal), the Municipal Development Partnership for Eastern & Southern Africa (Zimbabwe), and the International Centre for Urban Management (Ecuador).
