Regional Participatory Budget
The Regional Participatory Budget is a process in which the departmental bodies agree with the local bodies to build a space in which the citizens of the municipalities of the respective departments have the possibility to decide on their needs, priorities and projects in which the authorities must invest in their Development Plan, based on certain criteria such as social and economic conditions, transparency and efficiency and effectiveness in the proportion of services. It was sought to arrange among the participants through different local workshops with participants from various social organizations and productive associations, and then take the decisions to the regional consultation. The Development of Regional Participatory Budgets has been found in Magdalena Medio, Risaralda and Tolima, in which a broad participation has been achieved, an increase in the culture of participation and the collective construction of a vision for development.
