UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Africa Report: Strengthening Parliaments in Africa

In March 2008, the UK All Party Parliamentary Group on Africa released a report entitled: Strengthening Parliaments in Africa: Improving Support.  This report, using evidence gathered by the All Party Group's 2007 inquiry, explores the challenges which African parliaments face and how the UK and others can address these issues. The report gives the following 5 overarching recommendations:

1. Understand parliaments in their political context.
2. Engage local demand and encourage broad-based local ownership.
3. Coordinate.
4. Collect lessons learned and apply them.
5. Take greater account of parliament in development work.

Please see bleow for the full report.
