Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pacific Island Countries (PICs) still face significant challenges in achieving meaningful participatory democratic governance that is responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor and marginalised, and that promotes sustainable development. The challenges are manifested in political instability, lack of financial and human resources capacity, and weak policy and regulatory frameworks. Participatory decision making is severely limited, with women and young people under-represented in formal political structures across the region.
Although Parliaments can play an instrumental role in addressing the challenges, they themselves suffer various constraints such as weak staff capacity, weak parliamentary procedures, processes including inactive committees, limited access to critical information for law making and oversight and inadequate systems and equipment. The small size of many Pacific Islands legislatures often makes it difficult to sustain full parliamentary service functions, compounded by limited specialist capacity, poor access to legal guidance, training, information and research services, and limited financial resources.
UNDP Parliamentary Development Support UNDP’s Parliamentary Development support to Pacific countries seeks to address the limited capacities in Parliament to discharge their mandate in relation to legislation, oversight and representation, and thereby contribute to promoting good governance in their respective countries. In this regard, the UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji provides support to Parliaments of 15 Pacific States and territories to become more effective and efficient through strengthening the work of their committees related to legislation and oversight, building the capacities of legislators and professionalism of staff, and improving outreach and citizen engagement.
COVID-19 and Online Events With COVID-19 disrupting travel across countries, the UNDP Pacific Office Parliamentary Development portfolio adopted different online tools for providing capacity building and other support to the Pacific Parliaments. It has organized series of webinars for the regional parliaments, country specific workshops and bilateral sessions and meetings on need basis. UNDP also piloted hybrid learning events which were jointly implemented by UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji and in-country parliamentary staff and experts. As opening of borders does not seem likely in the near future, UNDP intends to build on its existing online capacity building experience and create and implement structured capacity building sessions for partner parliaments. In this regard, the UNDP Pacific office is looking for an E-learning Consultant who will provide high-level technical support to the development of the related strategy as well as support the implementation of activities.
