Updated for 2025, and previously released in 2017, this comprehensive guide written by Jez Hall and Alan Budge lays out 10 essential actions to record, monitor and evaluate the impact of a PB programme.

It aims to support community-led public sector organisations wishing to evaluate their ‘mainstream’ Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiatives. The techniques outlined here are also applicable to PB grant making programmes.
