NDI Partners with Commonwealth Parliamentary Association to Strengthen Parliaments

fgalleto — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 20:42:06 +0000

NDI and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) have signed an agreement to collaborate on efforts to enhance representative government around the world. The association is a group of national and subnational legislatures of the Commonwealth, representing some two billion citizens from all faiths and ethnicities from six continents.

A memorandum of understanding was signed in Nairobi Sept. 8 by the secretary-general of the CPA, William F. Shija, and the president of NDI, Kenneth Wollack.

A memorandum of understanding was signed in Nairobi Sept. 8 by the secretary-general of the CPA, William F. Shija, and the president of NDI, Kenneth Wollack. Shija attended the signing ceremony in advance of the 56th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference hosted by the Kenyan Parliament. Wollack was in Nairobi attending NDI's first board meeting held outside the United States. NDI Board member Tom Daschle, former U.S. Senate majority leader, also participated in the ceremony.

NDI and CPA will continue to work together to develop and promote the use of the CPA's "Benchmarks for Democratic Legislatures," a guide to good parliamentary practice developed in 2006 by a CPA Study Group that drew on a number of technical inputs, including an NDI discussion document. The CPA benchmarks are being used around the world to help parliaments self-assess their procedures and processes to identify areas where democratic governance can be improved.

Wollack and Daschle noted NDI's past successful cooperation with the CPA and looked forward to additional partnership at the global level and in Commonwealth parliaments where NDI has a parliamentary strengthening program. For his part, Shija welcomed the formal partnership as a vehicle for the 175 national and subnational legislatures of the Commonwealth to work with NDI to strengthen developing parliaments.

NDI and the CPA also collaborate with other international organizations on parliamentary strengthening, including the United Nations Development Programme and the World Bank Institute.

Parliamentarian Works to Strengthen Mozambique's Response to HIV/AIDS

rrunyan — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:23:33 +0000

Over two-thirds of the global population living with HIV/AIDS resides in Southern Africa. NDI has been working throughout the region to strengthen parliamentary leadership and outreach on HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care.

One unique story is that of Honorable Isau Meneses, a blind parliamentarian from Mozambique with whom NDI has partnered. His lack of vision has not hindered his awareness of the huge challenge that his country and others in Southern Africa face as they seek to address the HIV/AIDS crisis.

NDI projects have helped to bridge the knowledge gap between members of parliament and public health experts, strengthen relationships between elected representatives and civic groups, promote dialogue and information sharing with the private sector and enable legislators to carry out their oversight function on HIV/AIDS policy issues.

One unique story is that of Honorable Isau Meneses, a visually-impaired parliamentarian from Mozambique with whom NDI has partnered. His lack of vision has not hindered his awareness of the huge challenge that his country and others in Southern Africa face as they seek to address the HIV/AIDS crisis.

Meneses tells his story in this narrated slideshow that depicts NDI’s HIV/AIDS programming throughout the region.
