Resources

​Here, you will find support to explore how parliaments gather, process, and use knowledge to shape decision-making. These resources are designed to support scholars, policymakers, and the public in understanding the evolving role of parliaments in fostering informed governance. Stay updated with the latest insights and contribute to the ongoing conversation on strengthening democratic institutions through knowledge.
