Professional Development
Increasing the availability of professional development programmes to Members and parliamentary staffs.
To achieve this objective the Association will:
- Build up academic and practical courses based at suitable points in each Region;
- Encourage individual Branches and Regions to run short induction courses for newly elected Members in addition to those offered by the Secretariat;
- Increase the outreach of CPA programmes by using strengthened delivery systems combining information and communications technology with other traditional methods;
- Assist Members and parliamentary staff by the provision of relevant services to help them to maintain the highest standards in their professional work, and
- Encourage the development of professional knowledge-based Parliamentarians who are multiskilled and base themselves on the three sub-skills of human resources, continuous learning and information and communications technology applications.
