About this book

The role parliaments play in governance is fundamentally political, and as a result, the institutional side of parliamentary organisations is often overlooked. This volume, together with the theoretical volume African Parliaments: Evidence systems for governance and development, takes a practical look at African parliaments as institutions, and explores the ways in which their structures and processes influence the use of evidence for decision making. A comparative approach helps the reader get a practical view of how this governance interplay is enacted within portfolio committees, on chamber floors, and on the campaign trail. This volume looks at various models parliaments have used to institutionalise evidence use, and considers the implications this has for governance.
