eGA starts work on the participatory budgeting for Estonian local authorities

e-Governance Academy starts work on the customization of the Participatory budgeting for Estonian local authorities with the support of the Open Estonia Foundation.
The project would attempt to work out the suitable methodology for Estonia, taking into account the wide-spread use of the ID cards. “Internationally, we welcome cooperation projects that involve the idea of the participatory budgeting”, said the Member of the executive board, Mr. Ivar Tallo “as we would like to compare the existing practices. Domestically, we hope, the idea would provide a cure against extreme party politics and support civil society development.”
