WFD is seeking a consultant to design the upgraded version of the Public Debt Management Assessment Tool for Parliaments (PDMAT 2.0)
WFD facilitated MoU signing between National Parliament of Solomon Islands and Tynwald (Isle of Man Parliament) as a part of its effort to support the professional development of the NPSI secretariat/staff and the members of parliament.
The Solomon Islands is a micro-island nation with a population of around 700,000 spread over six main islands and more than 900 smaller ones. The nation has been self-governing since 1976 and has a Westminster-style political system. One key feature of this system is that members of parliament from all parties form committees, which scrutinise government actions – from new laws to public debt management. This is one way in which accountability and transparency can be upheld in a democracy.
In 2024, the Solomon Islands Electoral Commission introduced a joint election in which the National General election, the Provincial Election, and the Honiara City Council Election were held on the same day. Voters cast two ballot papers, one for the National Parliament and the other for the Provincial Seat or the Honiara City Council Seat. In the 2024 National General Election, 10 parties secured seats in the 50-member parliament.

From 2012, WFD’s support to women MPs across the Middle East and North Africa focused on effective leadership and encouraging women MPs to use their political influence for legislative change that eradicates discrimination towards women and girls in the region. At the heart of the programme is the Coalition of women MPs from Arab countries to combat violence against women, which was established in January 2014 with WFD support. The Coalition unites women MPs from thirteen countries: Libya, Jordan, Sudan, Lebanon, Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia, Morocco, Palestine, Iraq, Djibouti, Kuwait & KSA. Calling for change at the national and regional level, the Coalition is a network that helps MPs share experience on what works and unite together for greater impact.
