 Ethiopian Program
Parliament Capacity Building

This project aims at enhancing the capacity of parliamentary committees for policy research and analysis through the support of graduate students of state and private universities. Like other internship programs in developed democracies, this project is also designed to familiarize students with practical issues and challenges of governance both in terms of law and policy making and implementation help them to relate theoretical knowledge they get from universities to the practice.

The plan is to recruit graduate and undergraduate students to work in the internship program in collaboration with the universities. The students will work as researchers and assistants in the parliamentary and will receive for their work.

IAC plans to open a pilot internship project at the Federal parliament in the next few months. Hopefully, the internship program wills expand to regional parliaments and universities in the near future. If resources are available, IAG also wishes to open a resource and documentation data for policy and legal research by students and parliamentarians.
