Participatory Budgeting Charter for Scotland

As participatory budgeting grows in Scotland a lot of work has gone into developing a new charter for PB. The charter was released on the 27th June 2019. It lays out the defining features that underpin high quality PB in Scotland.

PB is increasingly becoming a central part of how decisions are made in Scotland – the charter represents ba practical way to set a standard for good PB in Scotland.

The charter’s seven features show what needs to be considered to make sure participatory budgeting is:

  • Fair and inclusive
  • Participatory
  • Deliberative
  • Empowering
  • Creative and flexible
  • Transparent
  • Part of our democracy
