Participatory budgeting enables your citizens, students, employees or tenants to propose and vote for projects funded by your organization. To ensure its success, it is essential to structure each stage, from idea gathering to project implementation.

The Participatory Budget model consists of four key stages:

Submission: collection of proposals and discussions between participants to enrich contributions.
Analysis: checking the feasibility of ideas before they are put to the vote.
Voting: selection of projects by participants.
Results: announcement of final decisions

In this guide you'll see the keys to success, step by step, and how to set up your consultation on the platform by following these best practices.

Step 1: Present your project

The participatory budget allows your citizens, students, employees or tenants to propose and vote for projects funded by your organization. To ensure its success, it's essential to structure each stage, from gathering ideas to turning projects into reality in a fun way.

Setting up the framework

Create a set of rules: Specify the principles, stages, participants, eligibility criteria and voting methods.
Draft FAQs: Anticipate questions and use it to inspire ideas.
Produce an explanatory video: A 5-minute video can greatly facilitate understanding and commitment. It will enable you to engage quieter people who don't usually take the time to participate.

Careful visual presentation

Presenting your project doesn't just mean explaining it, it also means presenting it physically.

For participatory budgets, we want to offer an overview of all ideas and add filters so that users can see the themes or locations of projects that interest them.
