Fwd: [DW] FT: The world watches Reykjavik’s digital democracy experiment - Participatory Budgeting

Bill Peduto used to talk about value-based budgets. Not hearing much about that these days. 

But, water is a value so let's make new overloards for water authority.

*Is your community exploring participatory budgeting? Let us know <http://po.st/CFrequestinfo>.*   The *Financial Times* just wrote an interesting *article on community idea generation and participatory budgeting* <http://po.st/FTworldwatches> in Reykjavik, Iceland.   The City of Reykjavik just finished their 6th yearly round which allocates about 6% of the city budget on community improvement projects - that's over $20M total over the years. Turnout was up 20 percent to a high of 11% of people voting via participatory budgeting (with over half completing the process via a mobile optimized experience). Reykjavik uses Your Priorities to gather and vet public ideas and then a more secure online voting system than you'll likely find with many other PB projects due to the scale of spending.   Both tools are open source, but in this case and with governments in other countries <http://po.st/cfportfolio>, the lead nonprofit Citizens Foundation <http://po.st/citizensfoundation> can do the hosting, manage a locally hosted server, or build out any desired customizations. A new AI tool is also mixed in to raise up useful content.   If you'd like to learn more, participate in a webinar on tools for PB or idea generation, *please fill out this form* <http://po.st/CFrequestinfo>.   And check out this dynamic discussion about participatory budgeting technology <https://www.facebook.com​/groups​/opengovgroup​/permalink​/2032877296943856​/> on the civic tech Facebook Group that I host.   I've been in the civic tech space for over twenty years and the humble, make it simple, make it work Citizens Foundation approach is such a winner that my nonprofit decided to partner with them on global outreach. So please share this with those you think would be interested.   Thanks, Steven Clift E-Democracy.org     P.S.* Civic digital advertising outreach case study <http://po.st/CFrequestinfo>* - The other week at the Council of Europe's Participatory Democracy Incubator for cities, Robert Bjarnason <http://po.st/rblinkedin> with the Citizens Foundation and I had a chance to catch up. In one of those "ah ha" moments (at the bar of course!), he mentioned that they invested heavily in online advertising via Facebook and some with Google Adwords. Spending about 13,000 Euros they reached just about everyone in Iceland recently. They tested and tracked different civic messaging and know what led to wasted paid visits and what led to actual deep participation. I pressed Robert to write a case study and he agreed! You can request the future case study and more information on their digital tools here <http://po.st/CFrequestinfo>.     Steven Clift - Executive Director, E-Democracy.org clift@e-democracy.org http://twitter.com/democracy   Join in: http://facebook.com​/groups​/opengovgroup Digital engagement for your org via E-Democracy: http://po.st/engageclift
