EISA Workshop: Civil Society – Parliament Engagement

Antananarivo, 5-6 November 2008

EISA's Legislative Support Programme will be holding a parliamentarian's workshop in Antananarivo, as well as a dialogue between parliamentarians and civil society organisations on 6 November.

The workshop will focus on the core functions of a parliamentarian i.e. oversight, legislation and representation. It will be attended by 30 members of the Malagasy National Assembly. The policy dialogue will bring together the 30 parliamentarians attending the workshop and representatives of national CSOs with a view to putting in place mechanisms for improved Parliament civil society engagement.
