Services
The Parlamentary Centre offers a range of services in parliamentary development
and good governance.
Assessment Missions. We organize and carry out missions to
assist parliamentary leadership in determining priorities and approaches
to strengthening their legislature. We also offer missions to assess
governance in a country and the implications for Canadian policy.
Program Development and Management. We have the capacity to
develop and manage major, complex, multi-year parliamentary development
programs. We recruit qualified individuals to staff field offices and
provide support services (administrative and financial) at headquarters.
Technical Assistance. We recruit and deploy Canadian experts
to advise parliamentary leadership and management on programs to
strengthen the legislature. Areas of specialization include
parliamentary research and information services, committee operations,
strategic planning and human resource development.
Workshops, Seminars and Courses. We design and organize
in-country workshops and seminars, as well as distance learning courses
on parliamentary development and public policy. Areas of specialization
include anti-corruption, poverty reduction and e-parliament.
Study Visits and Attachments. We design and organize study
visits to Canada for delegations of MPs and staff of legislatures, with
the focus on the national Parliament and the provincial legislatures of
Canada. We can also facilitate longer attachments to Canadian
legislatures.
Research and Publications. We carry out research studies and
publish articles on a range of topics linked to parliamentary
development. The priority areas of research include indicators of
parliamentary performance, parliament and the budget process,
parliamentary oversight and accountability and committees.
