This research is qualitative research by using a phenomenological approach to describe the phenomenon of participatory budgeting. The data collected from interviews with key financial and administrative officials in Sigi. The study's results indicate that the participatory budgetary model has been useful to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and economic parameters relating to good public governance practice in the local government. The results also show three critical elements that affect local government official's performance in participative budgeting practice in Sigi. These elements include: 1) the managerial paradigm used by the actors involved in budget formulation; 2) abilities and competencies of delegations representing the public at the development planning forum (Musrembang) and local parliamentary sessions; 3) a better commitment from local political parties and senior government officials in representing public aspiration in the budget formulation and development process.
