We voluntarily contributed to the Participatory Budget work that Şişli Municipality and Şişli City Council developed and started to implement. Participatory budgeting is one of the most important methods in strengthening democracy and active citizenship. Participatory budgeting is based on the application of good governance principles in the financial sphere.
