Participatory Budgeting in Slovakia: Recent Development, Present State, and Interesting Cases
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
In this chapter we take a closer look at the participatory budgeting in Slovakia: how is it implemented, what rules does it follow, how the process looks, and what the objectives are. Based on the desk research and descriptive analysis we map examples of good practice and point out obstacles that limit broader use of participatory budgeting in the Slovak Republic. What makes it interesting, is very fragmented level of local governments with a strong mayor form for the local government system. The chapter presents the development of the participatory budgeting, starting in the first three local governments, spreading to 54 municipalities that currently use this tool (January 2020). The highlights on participatory budgeting process in selected local governments are presented and different conditions in the given municipalities are analysed. Furthermore, interesting cases of participatory budgeting at the regional level are described as well as an interesting initiative of participatory budgeting in secondary and grammar schools. Analysis of the existing data allows us to point out only case-based effects. From a procedural perspective, it is interesting that the majority of the PBs have been implemented in compliance with the requirements of the Porto Alegre model for Europe. Problems that occurred during the implementation (including voting stage) led in some cases to distrust and adversarial relations between the involved inhabitants and the local politicians as well as public servants. There are several obstacles that limit a broader use of PB in Slovakia. One of the biggest challenges is how to involve more citizens in PB processes. A great concern is the really low amount allocated for PB (between 0.04% and 0.39%): the budgets for citizens’ projects do not even reach 0.5% of the total municipality budget.
