Course Overview
The 3 day programme will expose Legislators serving in Implementation Committees to processes through which they can better monitor and oversight matters under their oversight mandate.

Course Rationale
Globally, Monitoring and Evaluation are complementary and essential in the oversight work of a legislator. Despite the legislator depending on reports generated by other mandated bodies to monitor progress of public projects, an understanding of the processes and tools of M and E is vital for a legislator. Indeed, such knowledge will empower the office of the legislator to comprehend reports envisaged and guide in accurate evidence-based decision making by the legislator. The understanding of such reports and the subsequent processing of the same leads to recommendations by the Assembly. The Implementation Committee in the Assembly is the Committee mandated to follow-up on the recommendations adopted by the Assembly as well as other resolutions. It also mandated to ensure implementation of laws and executive commitments to the House. The continuous capacity enhancement of the Implementation Committees will strengthen their oversight capabilities over House resolutions.
