Although the parliaments of many developing countries still have a long way to go before they will maximize their ability to strengthen the outcomes from country-level poverty reduction strategies (PRSs), the first decade of the poverty reduction strategy process has produced some important examples of the ways that parliaments can get involved, shape the debate, and learn from the experiences of legislatures in other countries. The cases of Tanzania and Malawi illustrate how parliamentary committees and parliaments can develop in terms of policy leverage and leadership. 2012-08-13T08:50:42Z 2012-08-13T08:50:42Z 2008-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2008/05/9731529/parliaments-role-poverty-reduction-strategies http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9517 English Capacity Development Briefs; No. 26 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
