Can participatory budgeting build government legitimacy and increase tax revenues in weak states?

I have been in leadership roles with @ICTDTax for almost 15 years (!), after first serving as founding Research Director from 2010. From a core team of only five when we began, a wonderful feeling to be able to step back a bit and pass leadership to our large and talented team
