Great to represent the @house_democracy (HDP) on a panel about peer-to-peer legislative strengthening. Alongside programs like @InterParesEU, and the DEG from @Europarl_EN we showed how collaboration among parliamentarians drives impactful good governance programs worldwide.

#Kosovo!

[Derek Luyten @DvHL]

I am in #Kosovo this week working with the legislature on research, archiving, and data management. Considered by some as more “back-end” issues, these are critical to the institution’s accountability and transparency.
