“…Twenty-three evaluations were case studies providing descriptive analyses of single ( n = 10) or multiple ( n = 13) instances of PB. The methods used for these case studies included participant observation ( n = 9) [ 34 – 38 ], interviews ( n = 15) [ 18 , 34 – 46 ], surveys of PB participants and PB officials ( n = 14) [ 18 , 19 , 34 – 37 , 39 , 42 , 46 – 51 ], or descriptive analysis of municipal data ( n = 6) [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 40 , 41 , 43 ], fifteen studies applied various combinations of these methods.…”

The impact of participatory budgeting on health and wellbeing: a scoping review of evaluations

BackgroundParticipatory budgeting (PB), citizens deliberating among themselves and with officials to decide how to allocate funds for public goods, has been increasingly implemented across Europe and worldwide. While PB is recommended as good practice by the World Bank and the United Nations, with potential to improve health and wellbeing, it is unclear what evaluations have been conducted on the impact of PB on health and wellbeing.MethodsFor this scoping review, we searched 21 databases with no restrictions on publication date or language. The search term ‘participatory budget’ was used as the relevant global label for the intervention of interest. Studies were included if they reported original analysis of health, social, political, or economic and budgetary outcomes of PB. We examined the study design, analysis, outcomes and location of included articles. Findings are reported narratively.ResultsFrom 1458 identified references, 37 studies were included. The majority of evaluations (n = 24) were of PB in South America, seven were in Europe. Most evaluations were case studies (n = 23) conducting ethnography and surveys, focussing on political outcomes such as participation in PB or impacts on political activities. All of the quantitative observational studies analysing population level data, except one in Russia, were conducted in South America.ConclusionDespite increasing interest in PB, evaluations applying robust methods to analyse health and wellbeing outcomes are scarce, particularly beyond Brazil. Therefore, implementation of PB schemes should be accompanied by rigorous qualitative and quantitative evaluation to identify impacts and the processes by which they are realised.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5735-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Finally, regarding our third objective, that is examining the progress of the final prototypes results from these interactions, it is interesting to know what advance progress has been made in relation to the initial objectives. Works such as Talpin's () argue that experiences with disappointing or frustrating results feed cynicism and reinforce negative stereotypes, whereas positive results increase commitment and trust while incorporating new argumentative skills and repertoires.…”

‘Come together?’ Citizens and civil servants dialogue and trust

Trust is a key element in the co‐creation of solution for public problems. Working together is a gradual learning exercise that helps to shape emotions and attitudes and to create the foundations of trust. However, little is known about how institutions can promote trust. With the intention of going deeper into the subject, this paper focuses on a local experience in Spain: Madrid Escucha, a City Council initiative aimed at stimulating dialogue between officials and citizens around projects to improve city life. Three are our questions: who participate in these spaces, how the interactions are, and what advances are achieved. Based on qualitative research, empirical findings confirm a biased participation in this kind of scenarios as well as the presence of prejudices on both sides, an interaction characterised by initial idealism followed by discouragement and a possible readjustment, and a final satisfaction with the process even when results are not successful.

“…Por ejemplo, a través de un estudio en experiencias de presupuesto participativo, Talpin (2012) identifica cuatro vías de transformación: a) los participantes que acaban cayendo en la frustración política; b) aquellos que se convierten en «ciudadanos expertos» con amplios conocimientos sobre el funcionamiento de la administración; c) otros que se introducen en el mundo del activismo social a raíz de su experiencia; y d) otros que son cooptados o ascienden dentro de los partidos políticos locales. Otros estudios han desarrollado las competencias cognitivas, cívicas o relacionales que los participantes adquieren tras la participación en estos procesos (Talpin, 2012b;Pincock, 2012;Talpin, Funes y Rull, 2014;Funes, 2016).…”

LABURPENA: Parte hartzeko prozesuak hainbat helbururekin jartzen dira martxan, eta, horrenbestez, horien eraginkortasuna aztertzea ez da erraza izaten. Prozesu horiek helburu zehatzak izaten dituzte; esaterako, politika publikoak prestatzea (policies), edo tokiko testuinguru politikoetan aldaketa positiboak sustatzea (polities). Artikulu honetan bi dimentsio horiek ditugu hizpide: Parte hartzeko prozesuak politika publiko berriak zein baldintzatan eragiten dituzten aztertu dugu, eta aldaketa esanguratsuak zein kasutan eragin ditzaketen tokiko testuinguru politikoetan. 2012. eta 2015. urteen artean egindako ikerketa-proiektu baten bitartez, parte hartzeko prozesu ugari aztertu ditugu, eta tokiko eragile publikoen arteko harreman berriak sortu edo politika berriak ekoizteko orduan dituzten mugak eta aukerak hausnarketarako gai izan ditugu. RESUMEN: Los procesos participativos se ponen en marcha con objetivos de distinta índole, por lo que no resulta sencillo abordar el análisis de su efectividad. Estos procesos incorporan objetivos específicos como la producción de políticas públicas (policies), o la promoción de cambios positivos en los contextos políticos locales (polities). En este artículo, nos concentramos en esas dos dimensiones. Nos planteamos en qué condiciones los procesos participativos generan nuevas políticas públicas y en qué casos producen cambios significativos en los contextos políticos locales. A través de un proyecto de investigación realizado entre 2012 y 2015, analizamos una diversidad de procesos participativos y reflexionamos sobre sus límites y oportunidades a la hora de producir nuevas políticas o de crear nuevas relaciones entre los actores públicos locales. ABSTRACT: Participative processes are implemented with different objectives so it is not easy to address the analysis of their effectiveness. Theses processes have specific objectives such as production of public policies or the promotion of positive changes within local polities. In this article, we focus on those two dimensions. We consider the conditions participative processes cause in local policies and the cases where significant changes over local polities are produced. By means of a research project developed between 2012 and 2015, we analyze the diversity of participative processes and we reflect on their limits and opportunities in order to produce new policies or create new relationships between local public actors.
