The Parliamentary Centre, under the CIDA funded Parliamentary Committee Support Project II organized a two-day training for selected parliamentary staff from four departments of the Ghana Parliament namely Parliamentary Relations, Majority and Minority Secretariats, and Clerk’s Secretariat of Parliament. All these departments offer direct services to the Speaker, Members and Staff of Parliament.

These departments are also mandated to provide administrative and technical support to Parliament and its involvement in the activities of all international affiliated Parliamentary bodies such as the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Pan-African Parliament. Unfortunately the needed skills and competencies required to meet such standards are absent and thus the Centre’s objective to carry out this training.
