Participatory budgeting illustrates that significant progress can be made when local resources are effectively mobilised and demonstrates that foreign donors and the state are not required for access to water, education and employment to be improved.<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width:WIDTHpx;\" ><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2YZkv_kGEDM?wmode=transparent\" width=\"WIDTH\" height=\"HEIGHT\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Jules also discusses how participatory budgeting can help cultivate local democracy by giving groups that are normally silenced a say on the issues they face in their daily lives. However, participatory budgeting can only fulfil its potential if there is engagement, political will and an effort to educate citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Jules is co-ordinator of the Society of Booklovers, a civil society organisation that has been at the forefront of the introduction and expansion of participatory budgeting in Cameroon. The organisation was one of the inspirations for our recent paper: <a href=\"https:\/\/africaresearchinstitute.org\/wordpress\/publications\/participatory-budgeting-in-cameroon\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Booklovers, the Mayors and Citizens<\/a>, which explains how participatory budgeting has developed in a country without engrained traditions of participation or public service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this insightful and detailed interview, Jules Dumas Nguebou discusses how participatory budgeting has developed in Cameroon to ensure that local resources are effectively mobilised to meet community needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,557],"tags":[610,64,221,609,515,516,72,29,63,243,35,47,78,556,526,607,608,612,521,611,27,537,605,602,522,606,604,603,523,160],"class_list":["post-5499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-featured","tag-accountability","tag-africa","tag-africa-research-institute","tag-africities","tag-assoal","tag-cameroon","tag-cities","tag-cities-in-publications","tag-democracy","tag-development","tag-elections","tag-employment","tag-infrastructure","tag-jules-dumas-nguebou","tag-local-government","tag-mayor","tag-municipality","tag-pan-african-local-government","tag-participatory-budgeting","tag-participatory-democracy","tag-politics-in-publications","tag-porto-alegre","tag-sanitation","tag-society-of-booklovers","tag-transparency","tag-urban-poor","tag-water","tag-woman","tag-yaounde","tag-youth"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
