“…Critics have noted that performance budgeting loses its transformative potential once it is supported by supranational regulators and promoted at the national level. It may thus lose its primary goalof engaging the local community, becoming a set of spending proposals (Sgueo 2016).…”

The aim of the European Union’s cohesion policy is to reduce development inequalities between the regions of the Member States and to increase economic, social, and territorial cohesion. Expenditures on it account for one‑third of the European Union (EU) budget. Therefore, the appropriate and effective use of the structural funds plays a very important role. The purpose of the paper is to show the effectiveness of using the EU’s structural funds in two of the largest beneficiary countries in the programming period 2014–2020. The first part of the paper presents the efficiency and effectiveness of using EU structural funds and the barriers related to their implementation, as well as the main characteristics of the 2014–2020 programming period. The second part contains a statistical analysis of the effectiveness of implementing the cohesion policy in Poland and Italy, comparing the amounts of planned and spent funds in the analyzed period. The main method is the statistical analysis, which includes asummary of the amount of allocated funds and their use, as well as a calculation of the percentage of structural funds used. The theoretical part shows potential problems related to the implementation, while the statistical part shows the scale of the problem and the areas with the greatest problems with implementation in both countries.The analysis takes into account thematic objectives, as well as national and regional operational programs.

“…Despite difficulties in providing greater precision, available data from the "Brazilian Participatory Budgeting Network" reports that 355 municipalities in Brazil had implemented PB by 2012. Sgueo (2016) estimates that between 618 and 1,130, participatory budgets are currently being run in Latin America, while in Europe over 1,300 had been registered by 2012. More recently, Russia and China have raised great interest for their experiments in this field (Baogang 2010), as has the United States (Su 2017).…”

Participatory design in urban management defines multiple types of participatory processes developed in a wide range of policy domains, which differ from representative mechanisms (e.g., political elections), direct democracy initiatives (e.g., public petitions and referenda), and forms of public information or consultation. The participation of associated and non-associated citizens to the formulation, implementation, and/or assessment of public policies aims to contribute to the quality of democratic governance against the decrease of citizenry trust toward elected representatives and provide more effective responses to wider community.

“…All around the world, participatory budgeting (hereinafter referred to as PB) is quite a known and used mechanism. It was estimated that only in Europe between 2005 and 2012, more than 13 hundred participatory budgeting instances took place, involving more than 8 million citizens [Sgueo 2016]. Despite this fact, the Czech experience with participatory budgeting did not start until 2014.…”

The first real participatory budget was implemented in the Czech Republic in 2014. Since that time, the number of participatory budgets implemented by Czech municipalities increased significantly. With the rising popularity of this mechanism, I have conducted a simple quantitative analysis of possibly all the cases of the participatory budgets that were implemented in the Czech Republic between 2014 and 2018. This analysis aimed to identify the main characteristics and features as well as general trends of participatory budgeting in the Czech environment. Most attention was focused on the indicators of attractiveness and effectiveness of participatory budgets in the Czech Republic such as the ratio of the funds allocated for participatory budgeting compared to municipalities' annual budgets or the connection between participatory budgets and voter turnout compared to other kinds of elections in the Czech Republic. This paper's main asset is that it identifies and summarises all the cases and the main characteristics of participatory budgeting that were held in the analysed time period in the Czech Republic.
