STRATEGIC PLANNING – BRIDGING THE GAP: PARLIAMENTARIANS

AS AGENTS OF CHANGE

On the second day of the Gathering, formalities were abandoned and participants rolled up their sleeves to partake in creative small-group activities. With the purpose of building a regional agenda for action, the Group conducted a strategic planning session led by Keila González, resident director for the National Democratic Institute (NDI) in Mexico.

It’s not just what we do, it’s how.

Specific Objectives

· To prioritize issues and strategies for the Group’s work over

the next year.

· To develop concrete commitments from legislators to

contribute to progress in these areas.

· To identify the education and training needed to work on the

issues prioritized.
