PurposeSustainability is a pressing challenge of governance and public financial management. One key element of sustainable governance is the role of citizens. Participatory budgeting (PB) is a participatory tool with which citizens can influence public administration. PB is a democratic process that grants people real power over real money and it has spread around the world. This special issue explores the role of PB in the context of sustainable governance. In this editorial, the authors aim to approach PB as a form of sustainable governance.Design/methodology/approachIn this editorial, the authors collaborate in the analysis of how PB is implicated in the public management of complex social, economic and ecological issues. The authors identify key dimensions of internal and external sustainability based on prior research. The authors approach these dimensions as an internal–external nexus of sustainable governance in which organizational and financial sustainability are the internal dimensions and socio-political and environmental sustainability are the external dimensions.FindingsEven though PB can be seen as one tool for citizen participation, it has the potential to foster sustainability in multiple ways. PB, as a form of sustainable governance, requires a financially and administratively sustainable organizational process that results in the institutionalization of PB. It also includes thorough consideration of socio-political and environmental sustainability impacts of PB.Originality/valueAcademics are actively studying PB from various perspectives. However, most of this work has approached PB from the viewpoints of design and results of PB, and less is known about its institutional settings. PB has not yet been adequately studied in the context of sustainability, and there is a need to scrutinize PB as a form of sustainable governance.

“…Currently, it is estimated that there are over 3000 PB worldwide. The World Bank, in particular, has promoted PB extensively, but sometimes with different aims from its founders (Franco & Assis, 2019). However, more recent developments of participatory institutions often deviate substantially from the original form of participatory budgeting in Porto Alegre.…”

Community participation in the government budgeting process provides opportunities for wider and deeper public participation. This paper uses a systematic literature review method with a meta-synthetic approach that aims to examine the practice of participatory budgeting (PB) in Indonesia by comparing PB programs in the early reform era with PB programs in the reform era. The results show that the PB model in the early era of World Bank-sponsored reforms such as the Musrenbang (PNPM and KDP) is a technocratic administrative policy innovation because it has standard rules, innovation comes from the government and the community becomes the object of government policy. In addition, this study also finds that Prodamas indirectly strengthens Musrenbang because of its participation at the RT level. People at the lowest level are encouraged to participate more. Therefore, the researcher hopes that Regional Regulations have greater power.
