Each sub-region is given a weight ranging from 1 to 5 for every indicator, with the numbers representing increasing level of performance. There are, however, huge variations in the levels of participation for each activity per region. For example, while participatory budgetary scores least in the Australia and New Zealand subregion (1/5), it is quite common in the LAC subregion (3.05/5). Results show that 48 per cent of the cities (107) engaged civil society prior to the three processes, 34 per cent (75 cities) did not engage civil society in any of the process and 18 per cent (39 cities) engaged them in at least one process.
