| description |
One of the key features of the PRSP
process is that, while government led, there should be broad
consultations within countries and wide participation by
civil society, to ensure "country ownership." The
involvement of Parliaments could be even more pervasive,
however, given that, in many countries, parliaments have
become key pressures for government reform, aiming to see
that governments work more effectively, efficiently, and
openly. How this was done depended on circumstances and
opportunities to achieve positive change. The strengthening
of parliamentary committee capacity seems to offer the most
promise, but significant improvements in performance which
committees work to achieve are often necessary to have such
an impact. |
