Participatory Budgeting Theory of Change
/The Participatory Budgeting Theory of Change is a tool that can help you understand how PB can lead to desired changes for people, communities, and governments.
The Theory of Change maps four stages of change: inputs, activities, outcomes, and impacts. While these stages may overlap in practice, the tool aims to make the complexity of everyday practice more intelligible and help us think critically about the bigger picture.
