From participatory budgeting to community-led services: The co-production journey of Çanakkale in Turkey

Costs and savings

The estimated cost of the participatory budgeting project 2006-2007 was TRY 35,000 (New Turkish Liras) which corresponds to £11000. These costs include the allocation of resources for the ‘community fund’ of TRY 25,000 and other direct costs such as communication. However, staff costs are not included. The 2007 pilot project also received technical support through an UNDP-led (and EU funded) project.
