un articulo por Henry Carlos, El Observatodo
Whereas only 253 people participated in the diagnostic stage
in 2013, this year the diagnostic methodology of Participatory
Budgeting has been changed and as a result there have been
3,500 participants.

According to Camilo Ossandon, the coordinator of the
program, "the sixth version of the Participatory Budgeting
program aims to expand participation in the different stages
of the process. It is true that this year we have managed to
increase the number of participants and we are very happy
about it."
This increased participation legitimizes the initiative process
that will apply to the program, and which will require funding
to improve different aspects of quality of life that residents
have identified in the various meetings.
The professional also added that, "this allows the municipality
to generate more inclusive processes of residents in decision-
making, and it ensures that the work of our city authorities is
more attuned to what the public expects".
Currently, "we are just at the stage of identifying initiatives,
and studying the feasibility of those initiatives that residents
have prioritized in this diagnostic stage, to see if they can
meet all the technical requirements. If so, they will be
forwarded in the context of the objectives to be attained,
along with appropriate requests for funding, keeping in mind
the minimum parameters required by the application
program," Ossandon concluded.
This year 400 million pesos are being alotted by the
municipality of La Serena to the residents for implementation
of their projects.
