Detailed Solution

The Brazilian city of Porto Alegre conducted an experiment by combining decentralisation with participative democracy. The Participatory Budget is the name given to this approach in governance. Ordinary people decide how to allocate a part of a municipal or public budget through participatory budgeting. Citizens can discuss and prioritise public spending projects through participatory budgeting, giving them the power to make actual decisions about how money is spent. The city launched the first fully participatory budgeting procedure in 1989.
