Project Details
Project Description
Parliaments have central constitutional roles in making laws, approving budgets and holding government policy and administration to account. Yet, exploratory research found professional development programs for parliamentarians are highly variable in duration, content and learning mode and lack an evidence-base and explanatory theory. The needs of parliamentarians and factors that impact on the effectiveness of professional development programs will be investigated in selected parliaments, testing and developing human resource development theory for application to this unique occupation. The project will encompass the effectiveness of related capacity building programmes in the Pacific, a region vital to Australia's nation interest.
