Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the implementation of Participatory Budgeting in Argentina. We observe that a large part of the experiences has had to be suspended, others have continued in-person respecting health protocols, and some others began a transition process towards digital platforms. However, the digital turn is revealed as problematic due to the resources available to municipalities and because in the vision of municipal teams, online participation is insufficient and cannot replace face-to-face participation. The article is the product of a survey conducted with municipal officials from 41 cities of 11 provinces in Argentina.
