International Conference for Afghan Senators (15-17 April, 2006) 11.04.2006 April 09 2006, Kabul Afghanistan: The Meshrano Jirga (the Upper House) of the Afghan National Assembly is organizing the International Conference on Effective Legislative-Executive Relations in close collaboration with the Support to the Establishment of the Afghan Legislature (SEAL) Project. The Conference will be held in Kabul during 15-17 April 2006. The conference is expected to deepen the understanding of legislative-executive relationships with an explicit aim to strengthen the legislative capacity of the Upper House. It will also explore the critical issue of parliamentary oversight of the executive within the framework of the Afghan Constitution. The conference will create an opportunity for Afghan senators and senior government representatives to learn lessons and good practices from other parliamentary jurisdictions on legislative-executive relations, the e-parliament initiative and parliamentary oversight. It is hoped that the conference will contribute to the growth of a functional relationship between the legislature and the executive. The core participants of this conference will be the members of the Meshrano Jirga, key staff of the parliament’s administration and relevant ministries particularly the State Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs. Moreover, members of selected parliaments and some senior government and parliamentary officials from various countries ( Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Canada) have been invited to contribute to the process. Resource persons from the UN Democracy Fund, Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU), Canadian Parliamentary Centre, UNDP HQ and the SEAL Project will also join the discourse.
