Launch of IPU Global Parliamentary Report

We’re very pleased to extend an invitation to IPEN members to the official launch of the third Global Parliamentary Report – Public engagement in the work of parliament – produced by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the UN Development Programme.

The Report analyses why public engagement matters, and how parliaments are engaging with the communities they represent. It outlines trends and strategic priorities for better and deeper engagement in the future, as well as detailed case studies and practical guides for participatory, inclusive and responsive parliaments. Some of you may remember that IPEN hosted a seminar last year which introduced the main findings of the report.

Members of the IPEN team (including Cristina Leston-Bandeira, Temitayo Odeyemi, and Alex Prior), as well as the wider IPEN network (including Isabele Mitozo, Maya Kornberg and Sven Siefken), were closely involved in planning and researching the Global Parliamentary Report. The Report is now available for download from the IPU website

The launch event is taking place online on 30-31 May; you can register for the event here.
