With the rejuvenation of AGORA as the parliamentary development web portal in 2020, a group of implementers – led by International IDEA (through the EU-funded INTER PARES project), and including the National Democratic Institute (NDI), the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), the German Bundestag, the Netherlands Institute for Multi-party Democracy (NIMD), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the Directorio Legislativo have determined that a Parliamentary Development Community of Practice (PD CoP) is an important step in re-establishing parliamentary development as a key component of governance development work. An active PD CoP will both highlight and share innovative practices as well as help ensure the level of funding necessary for effective support to these key democratic institutions.
