Project Officer-Indicators for democratic parliaments
IPU, in cooperation with a number of partner organizations, is developing a set of Parliamentary indicators based on SDG targets 16.6 and 16.7 (the “Indicators). The Indicators are intended as a tool to support parliaments in their learning and development. They provide a framework for evaluating the capacity and performance of parliament across all areas of parliamentary activity, as well as for identifying areas for improvement. The Indicators are based on the principle of self-assessment, and the process of evaluation is managed and owned by the parliament.
A Preliminary version of the Indicators will be made publicly available in early April 2022. Following a period of public comment, review, testing and feedback, a first full public Version 1.0 of the Indicators should be published in March 2023.
This work is fully integrated with the IPU Strategy 2022-2026. It should advance IPU’s strategic objectives (in particular #1-3 on effective and empowered parliaments, inclusive and representative parliaments, and resilient and innovative parliaments).
IPU is looking to recruit a consultant to lead the finalization of the Version 1.0 of the Indicators.
