Participatory Budget 2019

1 Challenge

The City Council of Logroño needed a tool to promote the participatory budgets of 2019. The challenge was to increase participation over previous years. With this essential objective, they considered essential to promote the process of collecting proposals to include an online channel to facilitate access to citizenship.

2 Solution

Civiciti provided a centralized platform for the reception of the citizen proposals and, as a consequence of the simplicity of the approach, the citizen participation increased by almost 35% over the previous year and 11,221 supports were collected with a total of 702 proposals.

To facilitate the process of introducing proposals to citizens, Civiciti designed a platform that showed the following categories: Culture and Sport, Environment, Urban Mobility, Social Services, Urban Planning and Works and Other Categories.

3 Results

Number of supports compared to the previous years.

We can say that the participation of this year has meant an increase of 34.63% compared to the previous process. We achieve a record of participation and all thanks to this new interactive channel that includes a complete system of collection of proposals where citizens have been able to send their requests, even including images and videos, and support them through the buttons “like”.

The platform has been a new way of interacting with neighbors. It is a more modern, technological and complete tool, but always with the same objective: that the citizens themselves suggest us the proposals to be developed so, together, look for the best for Logroño and our neighborhoods.
