The analysis of the data suggests that although civic awareness and interest in local budget processes is relatively high, the participation rate in local budgeting processes is low. The paper also shows that interest, awareness, and participation are positively associated with the age, education, employment, risk-taking attitudes, trust, and social capital of respondents. The paper documents that unawareness and lack of participation are largely related to being female, of non-Kyrgyz ethnic origin, inactive in the labor market, recent internal migrants, and residents of communities with poor infrastructure. 2015-01-07T22:20:41Z 2015-01-07T22:20:41Z 2015-01 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/01/23172683/local-budget-transparency-participation-evidence-kyrgyz-republic http://hdl.handle.net/10986/21151 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7154 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Group, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Europe and Central Asia Kyrgyz Republic
