Parliamentary strengthening: Strategies and successes

1 May 2007 12:00-13:30 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • The second meeting in this series asked why donors have tended to neglect parliaments, and, where donor support for parliaments is forthcoming, what forms this takes. It also sought to identify proven strategies for parliamentary strengthening and ask how the effectiveness of such strategies, as well the performance of parliaments themselves, can be measured.
