The usage of information and communication technology by parliaments can enhance the transparency and accountability of institutions and legislative processes as well as provide an opportunity to engage citizens. This report has been researched and produced by WFD at the request of the Oliy Majlis, the Parliament of Uzbekistan, to inform its work towards digitizing and opening parliamentary activities.

WFD was specifically invited to assist the institution in creating an e-parliament online platform, for which this report makes a number of practical recommendations. This report does not seek to provide definitive, step-by-step instruction on the creation of an ‘ideal’ e-parliament platform, rather it provides holistic advice, tailored to the Uzbek context, on what digital interventions would be most engaging for citizens, useful for external policy stakeholders, and beneficial for parliamentarians
