Parliamentary Strengthening and the Paris principles: Cambodia case study
This is one of four country studies on the effectiveness of parliamentary strengthening, commissioned by DFID and CIDA and carried out by ODI and the Parliamentary Centre. It finds that, in Cambodia as in many other developing countries, the executive dominates a resource-starved legislature and a single party dominates the political landscape, making a challenging environment for strengthening parliamentary effectiveness. Despite some strengthening of parliamentary commissions in recent years, parliament remains largely ineffective, with most parliamentarians lacking the skills, knowledge or incentives to play an independent oversight role over the executive. It finds that the Paris Declaration principles have had relatively little influence on donor assistance to the parliament to date, and would have the potential to improve performance.
