The House Democracy Partnership (HDP) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) have collaborated to produce this fiscal emergency response guide to help partner parliaments reflect on their work and how it can be adapted to ensure effective policy responses and fiscal resilience in times of severe crisis or challenge. This handbook provides practical examples and a tool to reference for discussion on the various aspects of the work of parliaments and provides a series of questions and guidelines for consideration and self-reflection by parliaments and their leadership.
