2021 Award "Best Practice in Citizen Participation"

The participatory budgeting programme “I tebe se pita!” is the first such programme in this Croatian region and it’s been very successful from the beginning. 1000 of Trogir’s citizens engaged in this programme with more than 700 proposals and 78 elected projects in their local communities and neighbourhoods. The technical aspect of the programme was challenging in the time of pandemic, but we still managed to achieve the interest of our citizens and improve the application and voting processes to keep the project going. Our citizens are more and more interested about the project, patiently waiting for the next period of application and proposal call, as well as realization of the elected proposals which are improving their streets, neighbourhoods and communities.
