Political Governance: Leadership & Accountability Workshop
|
From 1-3 June 2005, the Solomon Islands Ombudsman's Office in conjunction with the Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Parliamentary Strengthening Project and the Speaker's Chambers ran a workshop for parliamentarians and provincial premiers on Political Governance: Leadership and Accountability in the King Solomon Hotel Conference Room.
Designed to complement the wider 'Machinery of Government' efforts being implemented by AusAID, RAMSI and UNDP in collaboration with the Government of Solomon Islands, the workshop was designed to contribute to the improvement of political governance and practice in Solomon Islands by focusing on the challenges, opportunities and benefits of quality leadership and accountability in government. It aimed to raise awareness among participating parliamentarians and premiers of the parliamentary oversight roles of key government departments, commissions, offices and committees by explaining their structures, functions, services and obligations in relation to leadership and accountability. Simultaneously, it provided a forum for MPs to discuss democratic governance in an open, progressive and non-partisan environment. By sharing comparative knowledge of the goals and benefits of these structures and processes in both the Solomon Islands , Australia and key regional neighbours, the workshop organisers hoped to build the capacity and encourage the enthusiasm of MPs and premiers to continue to improve their leadership and accountability practices.
