Citizens' Engagement and Civil Society

Effective Parliaments operate in constructive collaboration with citizens and
civil society to fulfill their core functions of law-making, representation and
oversight of government. In both form and function, effective Parliaments
strive to be transparent, responsive, and accountable to the citizens they
represent and serve.
