People Powered event: How to Engage People with Disabilities in Participatory Budgeting
/Too often, participatory budgeting (PB) programs fail to include disabled people. As public participation shifts online during the COVID19 era, governments and organizations face new challenges - and opportunities - for inclusion.
In this practical training, participants will learn how to make PB more inclusive, engaging, and empowering for disabled people.
Disability rights advocates and PB implementers from around the world will share best practices, review lessons learned, and help participants plan next steps for taking action.
