Participatory budgeting in global perspective

A book on participatory budgeting that explores its origins and theory of change, and defines the different types of program methodologies and how they work.

This publication details the history of participatory budgeting starting from its origins in Porto Alegre. It then discusses its theory of change, drawing from case studies in a wide range of global contexts to detail the impact that participation in these programs can have on individuals and communities. It also provides a comprehensive review of the spread and impact of PB around the world, and characterizes several program typologies depending on their variation and design choices, as well as their outcomes.
