| Abstract: | In many African countries, spatial policies are yet to be adopted to guide participatory budgeting processes. To bridge this gap, this study sought to develop a participatory budgeting tool that integrates the SDF methods for Participatory Budgeting. The research used secondary data to establish the current budgeting process and the theoretical framework. The results of the secondary data review, helped in the development of the Participatory Budgeting prototype. The development process involved integration of the SDF methods in the Participatory Budgeting Application and the UTA algorithm in the Participatory Budgeting Manager Application. From the experimental data, the resulting PB prototype was able to prioritise and select spatially located projects. Hence, the conclusion that the developed prototype was able to integrate the SDF methods and thus adopting spatial policies in the budgeting process. |
