Citizen Consultation on Participatory Budgeting
The Citizen Consultation on Participatory Budgeting for Mexico City is designed so that the citizens of each neighborhood or town of native origin define the works or services in which public resources are applied. Citizens can participate by submitting projects or by giving their opinion, in two ways: 1) Information System over the Internet, and 2) Opinion polling stations. The winning projects are prioritized and executed by the political delegations in coordination with the Citizen Committees, councils of the towns or board of directors, as appropriate.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
