The seminar will introduce the upcoming Global Parliamentary Report (scheduled for publication in Autumn 2021.), explain the project, and provide an overview of major findings. The 2021 Global Parliamentary Report, a joint initiative of the IPU and the UNDP, focuses on public engagement in the work of parliament.
The report draws on original data from over 80 countries, a rich dataset of interviews with 136 parliamentarians and staff around the world, focus groups, surveys of 70 parliaments and input from civil society actors. The report explains why engagement matters, how parliaments engage, and provides strategies and recommendations for how to engage more (and more effectively).
