Paragraph text
States are increasingly introducing participatory budgeting mechanisms, which enable citizens to influence the allocation of public resources through direct discussions and negotiations with authorities. Although participatory budget processes are a valuable opportunity for persons with disabilities to make States more responsive to their needs and preferences, their effectiveness depends upon the provision of accessibility and capacity-building.
