A six-member team from the Department of Research Services of the Parliament of Uganda has embarked on a five-day study visit to the Parliament of Ghana. The delegation’s primary objective is to exchange knowledge and share best practices on researching for legislative bodies in Africa.
Upon arrival, the team paid a courtesy call on the Deputy Clerk of Parliament in charge of the Information Management Services. They were warmly received by the Deputy Clerk and the Coordinating Director of Media Relations, Public Engagement and Parliamentary Broadcasting, Ms Kate Addo.
During their deliberations, the team discussed critical issues, including key practices, experiences, and methods of evidence use in legislative processes. This knowledge-sharing exercise aims to enhance the research capabilities of the Ugandan parliamentary team, ultimately strengthening the legislative process in Uganda.
The study visit is a testament to the collaborative efforts between African parliaments to promote effective governance and decision-making. By sharing expertise and experiences, the Parliament of Ghana and the Parliament of Uganda can work together to address common challenges and promote sustainable development in the region.
