Parliamentary Strengthening : The Case of Ghana
This paper examines the World Bank Institute's (WBI's) first multiyear capacity enhancement program in the field of parliamentary strengthening. Seven lessons have emerged: (a) strong domestic political support is necessary, (b) parliamentary strengthening activities should complement broader governance reform efforts, (c) training activities should be integrated into broader parliamentary capacity-building initiatives, (d) training activities need to reflect the evolving parliamentary agenda, (e) a nonpartisan approach is essential, (f) activities must connect with the administrative structure of parliament, and (g) parliamentary committees benefit enormously from direct interface with international organizations, among others, the World Bank and Parliamentary Centre.

This paper examines the World Bank
Institute's (WBI's) first multiyear capacity
enhancement program in the field of parliamentary
strengthening. Seven lessons have emerged: (a) strong
domestic political support is necessary, (b) parliamentary
strengthening activities should complement broader
governance reform efforts, (c) training activities should be
integrated into broader parliamentary capacity-building
initiatives, (d) training activities need to reflect the
evolving parliamentary agenda, (e) a nonpartisan approach is
essential, (f) activities must connect with the
administrative structure of parliament, and (g)
parliamentary committees benefit enormously from direct
interface with international organizations, among others,
the World Bank and Parliamentary Centre. |
