Development administration emerged in the 1960s to help implement policies and plans for nation-building and socio-economic progress in developing countries. It aims to strengthen administrative machinery to facilitate defined programs of social and economic progress by making change attractive to populations. Key elements include planned and coordinated efforts, a goal-oriented and people-centered approach, and creating management capacities. Problems include a lack of experienced administrators and modern techniques as well as procedural delays and poor implementation. The nature of development has changed from a 19th century focus on individualism and economic growth to a post-WWII emphasis on state-led development and goals like poverty reduction, self-reliance, and resource mobilization.
Public policies are goal-oriented decisions made by governments to address certain issues and problems. They can be positive, involving governmental action, or negative, involving inaction. Public policies are the result of collective actions by government officials and actors. They take a variety of forms like laws, ordinances, and executive orders. Public policies establish boundaries for freedom in political, social, and economic systems and influence how citizens interact with each other in these spheres. Understanding public policies helps reveal a government's intentions for different sectors and allow citizens to assess the impact of these policies.

In the failure of the formal accountability channels, social accountability is slowly becoming an effective response to governance deficit. Understanding good governance is a prerequisite to understand social accountability. Social Accountability is an approach towards enforcing & building accountability that relies on civic engagement in which citizens participate directly or indirectly in demanding accountability from service providers and public officials.
Accountability is no longer between the state only and citizens. Non state, national and transnational actors are now, heavily involved in all stages of the production of public goods.
The influence of corporate interests in the provision of public goods and services, as well as the entry of several unregulated providers poses a big threat to accountability and inclusion.
The strategies below represent the practical ways in which CSOs have applied the notion of social accountability to the context and issues of concern to their members, constituents and beneficiaries.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

1. Participatory
Budgeting

2. Participatory Budgeting – When & Where?
PB began at the end of the 80’s, in Brazil, when democracy
was reinstalled in the country.
Phases:
◦ I: Experimentation. 1989 - 1996
◦ II: Expansion in Brazil. 1997 - 2000
◦ III: Diversification in Latin America. 2001-2005
◦ IV: International Awareness. 2003 – 2005
Most experiences are still in Brazil, but many Latin American
cities have adopted
Currently, cities from Europe, Africa, Asia and Eastern
Europe are exercising PB.
3. What is Participatory Budgeting?
“a mechanism (or process) through which
the population decides on, or contributes to
decisions made on, the destination of all or
part of the available public resources.”
a form of participatory democracy
a combination of elements of direct or semi-
direct democracy with representative
democracy
4. What is Participatory Budgeting?
“Participatory Budgeting is a process of direct,
voluntary and universal democracy, where the people
can debate and decide on public budgets and policy.
The citizen’s participation is not limited to the act of
voting to elect the executive or the legislators, but
also decides on spending priorities and controls the
management of the government. He ceases to be an
enabler of traditional politics and becomes a
permanent protagonist of public administration. The
PB combines direct democracy with representative
democracy, an achievement that should be preserved
and valued.” - Ubiratán de Souza
5. What is Participatory Budgeting?
Citizens can get involved in all phases of the
budget process and cycle they may be engaged
◦in the formulation of the budget,
◦in the review and analysis of the budget,
◦in tracking the expenditure, or
◦in audit and control.
Participatory budgeting is a way of promoting
good governance through increased
participation, accountability, and transparency.
6. Participatory decision-making process
1st
• Preparatory and Stakeholder Mobilization
2nd
• Issue Prioritisation and Stakeholder Commitment
3rd
• Strategy Formulation and Implementation
4th
• Follow-up and Consolidation
7. Participatory decision-making process
1. Preparatory and Stakeholder Mobilization
◦ Identifying and mobilising stakeholders; raising
awareness and understanding; preparing systematic,
focused profiles; organising core consultative groups;
beginning identification of key issues;
2. Issue Prioritisation and Stakeholder
Commitment
◦ Elaborating Issues
◦ Building Collaboration and Forging Consensus
◦ Formalising Commitment on Ways Forward
8. Participatory decision-making process
3. Strategy Formulation and Implementation
◦ Formulating Priority Strategies
◦ Negotiating and Agreeing Action Plans
◦ Designing and Implementing Demonstration Projects
◦ Integrating Projects and Plans into Strategic
Approaches
4. Follow-up and Consolidation
◦ Implementing Action Plans
◦ Monitoring and Evaluation
◦ Up-scaling and Replication • Institutionalisation
9. Operational Needs of Participative Budgeting
The operational needs of participatory budgeting
exist at three levels:
◦ (1) normative, citizen participation has to be given a legal
basis;
◦ (2) regulative, an operational framework of participation
with clear definition of roles and functions, including the
methodology of participation must be mutually agreed
upon and put in place; and finally,
◦ (3) regenerative, participation practice warrants several
capacity building interventions involving both the civil
society as well as the government organizations (Guthrie,
D.M., 2003).
10. Prerequisites of Participative Budgeting
Identifying and designing clear points of entry
for civil society participation in local governance.
Developing a policy to provide the framework
for participatory budgeting.
Investment in capacity building - not only of
local governments and civil society, but also of
national governments agencies.
A realization that participatory budgeting can
not be fast- tracked.
11. Prerequisites of Participative Budgeting
A management that can overcome long
established systems and procedures.
A formal system of accountabilities being in
place.
Efforts to institutionalize participatory
governance through participatory planning and
budgeting that tap institutions already working
in the area.
12. What could be the model of PB?
There is no single model, nor would it be
desirable to have one, because the
experiences are the products of
the reality of each region, of its local history,
civic culture, and the organization of its civil
society,
the available resources and
also the administrative culture of the
governments which administer them.
13. What is Participatory Budget?
The Participatory Budget is a
multidimensional process:
Budgetary/financial dimension
Participatory Dimension (these two dimensions
are the foundation of the process)
Normative and legal-judicial dimension
Spatial/territorial dimension
Political/governance dimension
14. Contributions (benefits) of PB
i) an expansion and deepening of participatory democracy,
ii) improves transparency of public administration
iii) provides qualitatively different accountability system,
iv) increased effectiveness,
v) improved equity, and
vi) enhanced public safety
vii) re-orders social priorities and promote social justice
viii) links democratic processes with concrete and perceptible
results in the short term.
ix) Collective prioritisation and co-management
15. Preconditions for Participatory Budget
Political will (if not present, create it through demand
side management)
Presence and interest of civil society (citizens in
general)
A clear and shared definition of rules of games /
participation / engagement
Capacity of citizens and ULB officials to participate
Dissemination of information in all possible manner
Prioritisation of demand
16. PB - Basic Guiding Principles
Participatory Budgeting Law in Peru.
Participation
Transparency
Equality
Tolerance
Efficiency and effectiveness
Equity
Competitiveness
Respect for agreements
Co-management of public resources provides
another dimension
17. Steps to put PB in practice
No universal recipe to initiate participatory
budget as it differs from place to place
Situation analysis / assessment about main
principles respected and preconditions met
Mapping of local actors in a participatory way
Clear analysis and definitions by government
Creation of alliances and opening dialogue
Designing the internal regulations for the PB
18. Steps to put PB in practice
Universal participation:
Transparency of the budget
Flexibility:
Objectivity
Gender focus
Pluri-cultural and multi-ethnic focus
19. Indicators
How much resources or % of budget under
participatory process
The larger the budget under discussion (in
absolute and percentage terms), the better for
the citizens.
No linkage between level (qualitative and
quantitative) of participation and size of resources
20. Assigning Resources under PB
Two broad ways for assigning resources
Area wise
Sector/function wise
Criteria for assigning resources (should not be casted in
stone)
the population of a certain region,
the priorities (housing, streets, education, health, sewage,
etc.) selected by the inhabitants,
unmet basic needs (water, electricity, sanitation),
21. Assigning Resources under PB
Criteria for assigning resources
the degree of participation in the process,
the degree of tax evasion or arrears,
the attention received during previous years,
the impact of a project on the community and
the impact for disadvantaged or vulnerable groups.
Weightages of each criteria
