Grassroots Participatory Budgeting
2nd Philippine Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) CongressSeptember 30-October 2, 2014
The Heritage Hotel, Roxas Blvd, Manila
Grassroots Participatory Budgeting
• It is a process where the people at the grassroots are provided with the opportunity to be involved, in deciding how and where public funds should be spent especially to address their poverty situation,
• The people shall be involved particularly in the drafting of the national government agencies’ budget.
• Formerly known as the “Bottom-Up Budgeting Process”, it is the opposite of the top –down approach, where only the leaders and officials at the top decide where the public funds should go.
OBJECTIVES
– Promote people’s participation
– Strengthen government’s accountability and transparency
– make governance and public resources allocation more responsive to local needs
• It also hopes too break the monopoly where only a few decide where the public
funds should be spent, o curb corrupt practices where funds are mismanaged to benefit a
few and o prevent patronage politics or using the project as a reward to the
followers of political leaders for their electoral support.
