Policy Analysis and Research Project is a professional non-partisan unit of the National Assembly set up to articulate, distil, disseminate and document the perspectives and positions of the National Assembly on relevant policy issues. Policy Analysis and Research Project is designed to operate not only as a think- tank of the National Assembly but also as a capacity builder.
The need for such an organization was necessitated by the fact that the National Assembly, being the most inexperienced, though the most crucial to democratic governance, of the three arms of government, has limited technical capability to support its functions of lawmaking and evaluation of the executive branch. PARP is therefore positioned to enhance the capacity of the National Assembly through research and deployment of highly rated technical/professional resources in all legislative processes and especially policy development and evaluation.
