<h3>What is Participatory Budgeting?</h3><ul><li>Participatory budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend a part of a public budget. Participatory budgeting empowers people to decide together how to spend public money. The process of participatory budgeting deepens democracy, builds stronger communities and makes public budgeting more equitable and effective. </li><li>Today, there are more than 3,000 participatory budgeting processes around the world, most at the municipal level.</li><li>Learn more: <a href="https://www.kerentang.ca/participatory-budgeting" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.kerentang.ca/participatory-budgeting</a><a href="https://www.participatorybudgeting.org/what-is-pb/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a></li></ul>
