World eParliament Report 2008

The World e-Parliament Report 2008 represents the first effort to establish a baseline of how parliaments are using, or planning to use ICT to help them carry out their representative, lawmaking and oversight responsibilities and to connect to their constituencies. It is also intended to advance a shared knowledge base among the parliaments of the world and to promote international debate on these matters. The Report is based on the responses and comments provided by 105 assemblies from around the world to a survey on the use of ICT in parliament conducted between July and November 2007. It also draws on experiences exchanged during the World e-Parliament Conference 2007 and relevant publicly available information. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the Inter-Parliamentary Union launched the World e-Parliament Report 2008. The Report was prepared as part of the work of the Global Centre for ICT in Parliament.
