H.E. Ali Saleh Al Saleh, Chairman of
the Shura Council, expressed appreciation of UNDP assistance and
reiterated the commitment of the Council to continue its successful
cooperation with UNDP to build on recent achievements in strategic
planning, training and capacity development. In a meeting with the
UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative, Sayed Aqa,
progress and activities of the Project “Strengthening the Capacity
of the Parliamentary Secretariat and Members of Parliament” were
reviewed and upcoming activities discussed.
As part of its project with the National Parliament, UNDP seeks to
support both the Council of Representatives and the Shura
(Consultative) Council in developing strategies to strengthen the
capacities of the general-secretariat staff to support the work and
functions of the members.
Currently, a strategic planning exercise for the Shura Council and
Council of Representatives is underway as well as a training needs
analysis that will serve to specify key training requirements. The
activities under the Project being planned for the new MPs were also
reviewed. UNDP, with its global experiences, will provide the Shura
Council with best practices in internship programmes as well as
research and information management that will serve to further
enhance efficiency of the Secretariat staff and the members of the
Council. |
