The project involves both institutional and operational activities.
Institutional activities focus on revisions to the rules of procedures and reform of the committees.
The Department for International Development has recently signed a cost-sharing agreement with UNDP to support a component of the Project focused on strengthening the parliamentary committees. This activity will include training of committee staff, orientation for Committee Chairmen and Members, overseas study tours, organisational review of the secretariat and support to the training of media representatives on parliamentary functions. The project is being executed by the Parliament Secretariat and implemented by the United Nations Office for Project Services, under the overall supervision of a Steering Committee, chaired by the Speaker. The international consultants will undertake a comprehensive review of the Parliament Secretariat and prepare a report for the Hon. Speaker and the Parliament Secretariat Commission including specific recommendations for change.
