Tools for field research

A tool developed by the Participatory Budgeting Project for PB budget delegates to conduct successful field research on projects and gather information about community needs.

Field Research is one of the best ways for budget delegates to gather the information necessary to put together proposals that most meet the needs of the community.

Committees can visit different neighborhoods to assess needs, schedule meetings with local groups, create community maps, conduct site visits and go on different sorts of excursions, depending on their projects. The guide will help you prepare for successful field research!
