Collaboration Pact

Collaboration pacts are agreements signed by the Bologna administration to provide funding and support to projects proposed and led by residents. 

What are some key problems that this process can solve?

One of the key problems collaboration pacts aim to solve is the lack of civic participation due to slow and bureaucratically heavy processes that further perpetuate decision-making centralization and a lack of access paths for citizens to meaningful instigate and drive change. “One of the main reasons for Bologna’s success in engaging residents to help them solve problems is that the mayor’s office was willing to embrace decentralization."

How does this process work?

"The process is a hybrid of collaborative planning and participatory budgeting, including phases like project proposal submission, technical evaluation, project selection, funding allocation, and implementation." (Source)
