The political development strategy is the first national strategy on political reform developed and approved by Parliament in March 2013. It includes legal reforms governing participation (Elections Law, Political Parties Law, Municipalities Law, and Press and Publications Law). UNDP helped undertake an inclusive nation-wide consultation process over a period of six months to ensure the strategy reflects national priorities, successfully engaging young people, civil society and local community groups, representatives of political parties. A Public opinion poll on awareness, perception and participation in political life was conducted with UNDP’s support to inform the strategy formulation and other future reform processes.
