Given the positive response from the community, the informative talk “Participatory Budgeting: deciding the future of the neighborhood together” was held in the Training Room of the Civic Center of Concordia.
Organized by the Directorate of Citizen Participation, the activity brought together residents who came to learn more about the democratic participation tools that allow for deciding the allocation of a portion of the municipal budget.
The Undersecretary of Development and Entrepreneurship, Gabriel Enguelberg, stated: “The municipal government is present in the territory not only to provide services, but also to build citizenship. We are committed to joint work and the active role of every resident in public life.”
Sebastián Reinafe, Coordinator of the program, highlighted: “We had a very good turnout. There is real interest from people to get involved, and that is the spirit of Participatory Budgeting: that decisions are made with the community and from the territory.”
Within the framework of this event, the return of the “Come, get informed and participate” program was also announced, which will once again tour the neighborhoods of Concordia starting in June. This initiative, which showed excellent results in terms of resident participation during 2024, returns with the goal of strengthening and expanding that positive impact in the territory.
In this regard, José Vedoya emphasized: “Returning with this program means resuming direct dialogue with residents, bringing them information and listening to their proposals. It is the path to a more vibrant and accessible democracy.”
The proposal will be coordinated between different areas of the Municipality:
Citizen Participation
Participatory Budgeting
Social Economy
Employment
Job Training
Garden Consulting
Senior Citizen Policies
