Africa i-Parliaments
"Africa i-Parliaments Action Plan: Strengthening the Role of African Parliaments in Fostering Democracy and Good Governance through Knowledge and Information Management" is an Africa-wide initiative implemented by the UN/DESA to empower African Parliaments to better fulfill their democratic functions by supporting their efforts to become open, participatory, knowledge-based and learning organisations. It builds on the experiences, lessons learned, and tools and applications developed during the implementation of the initiative “Strengthening Parliaments’ Information Systems in Africa” and more specifically:
- AKOMA NTOSO defines a set of simple, technology-neutral electronic representations of parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents for e-services in a Pan-African context and provides an enabling framework for the effective exchange of "machine readable" parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents such as legislation, debate record, minutes, judgements, etc.
- Bungeni - Parliamentary and Legislative Information System is solution for drafting, managing, consolidating and publishing legislative and other parliamentary documents, Parliaments more open and accessible to citizens. For more information see www.bungeni.org
