Inter-Parliamentary Union

Objet publié

African parliaments expressed the need to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) for a tailored program to assist their countries and parliaments in the national reconciliation process. The IPU aims to strengthen the participating parliaments' capacity to promote reconciliation. The project targets the parliaments of Ghana, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Uganda by working with them to establish a national plan of action, and implementation of the plan from 2007 to 2009. The joint IPU/International IDEA 2005 handbook entitled, “Making reconciliation work - The role of parliaments,” is also being updated to reflect the experiences and developments that have taken place in the region and globally.
