[OpenSpending] 2 initiatives related to participatory budgeting and open data

[Gilles Pradeau]

          About the UK : "An important element of the enquiry is to find
          out what information citizens need in order to make informed
          decisions about local budgets. Open data in particular is
          believed to increase the transparency of government and
          decision-making as well as hoped to be one answer for the
          requirements of increased efficiency of service production."
