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 Security Specialist will be responsible for providing a risk assessment of the current security provisions in place in the Parliament of Bangladesh, and an advisory opinion with recommendations for improvements. The Specialist will then participate in a second mission to assist in the implementation of the approved recommendations, particularly in regards to training of security staff.
