Participatory Budgeting

Involve your residents in allocating municipal funds – with project prioritisation and a transparent distribution of the budget.

Participatory Budgeting – questionnaire preview

With this template, municipalities actively involve their residents in budget decisions. Participants prioritise specific projects, allocate a notional budget of 100 points across different areas and can submit their own proposals. The survey is anonymous; contact details are only collected if participants wish to be informed about the results.

When should you use this template?

This template is a great fit for:
