Participación ciudadana a través del presupuesto como herramienta de planificación financiera en el GAD Parroquial Rural de San Luis de Pambil, año 2024.

Abstract

The project looks at how more active and better informed citizen participation couldhelpimprovethe management of the 2024 parish budget in San Luis de Pambil, because many peoplestill maynotfully understand how this process works or how their opinion could influence the decisions madebytheparish government. The results would show that a large part of the population only knows thetopicinageneral way and attends community meetings irregularly, which would reflect interest, but alsosomedoubts about why participation matters and what real changes it could bring. It wouldalsobeobservedthat, when information is explained in simple words and in more open spaces, people understandthebudget better, trust the administration more, and pay more attention to how resources are used. Fromthispoint, the proposal focuses on improving communication, making meetings easier tofollow, givingvisible follow up to agreements, and maintaining closer accountability, so that this process isnot seenasjust a formality, but as a space where the community can truly feel included
