Course Description
Good corporate governance plays an important role in supporting democracy by helping parliamentarians fulfill their constitutional obligations to represent, to legislate, and to exercise oversight on the executive. Parliamentarians, as agents operating in the best interests of its citizens, are expected to maintain an understanding of those interests when deliberating on policy issues from the perspective of the public good, as well as engaging citizens in the process.
This course will emphasize how a coordinated approach to planning can play a key role in meeting the parliamentary corporate needs of today and of tomorrow with a specific objective to better serve the public interest. The course will also explore how public outreach programs can fulfill the expectations of the public. In this regard, two units were designed to build the practical skills of the Secretariat to be able to develop communication strategies and to prepare media releases, as well as related communication tools. The final unit reviews the effectiveness of various management performance assessment tools (i.e performance reporting, surveying, benchmarking etc.) and their applicability in the parliamentary context. A management accountability (MAF) drafted from international good practices and from the course content, will be presented as a model, which can be used to carry out a capacity assessment exercise of a parliament.
