The Participatory Budgeting Pilot aims to strengthen citizens participation in local governance, specifically in budget formulation,execution and monitoring and help build a dialogue between citizens and their local governments.This pilot will allow key stakeholders an opportunity to test mechanisms in which budgetary decisions are transparent, inclusive and accountable.
This new Initiative was launched in Tirana on 12 Maj 2004. For more about this initiative please refer to:
