Programa, Quindío, Armenia 12

Abstract

In this section of the Voces y Regiones program, the topic of participatory budgeting in the municipality of Armenia, Quindío is discussed. It explains that this is a citizen participation mechanism that allows the community to be involved in decision-making regarding the allocation and use of public resources in their territory. In Armenia, participatory budgeting aims to promote citizen inclusion in public management, giving communities the opportunity to express their needs and propose projects to improve their quality of life. This process seeks to ensure a fairer distribution of resources, prioritizing investments in areas such as infrastructure, health, education, and local development. The program also emphasizes the importance of transparency and citizen oversight in the implementation of these budgets, ensuring that the decisions made genuinely benefit the population and contribute to the sustainable development of the municipality.
