Background

  • Emergence of PRSPs as the key policy guides for poverty reduction
  • Convergence of PC’s and WBI’s interest in Parliament’s role in this new policy shift
  • Previous joint work with WBI
  • Previous PC work on Parliaments and PRSPs
Why Focus on Parliament?

  • Our mandate and interest as well as the interest of our key partner – WBI
  • Parliaments are central to any discourse on development of which PRSPs are an integral part
  • Underpinning PRSPs are the twin concepts of participation and country ownership
  • Parliaments approve national budgets from which PRSPs are funded or not funded
