Lebanese Parliament
Overview

Beginning in 1994 the Center provided assistance to the National Assembly of Lebanon (known as Parliament) with projects primarily focused on enhancing the legislative and administrative capacities of the institution. Activities were also implemented to expand citizen participation in the public policy debate and to support the development of Parliament as a democratic institution. Specific activities to enhance the legislative capabilities of Parliament included policy dialogue trips, development of legal databases and reference guides, and creation of customized information systems. In addition, the administrative work of Parliament was reorganized and restructured through the introduction of the appropriate information technology systems and tools and through the specialized training of staff.
