The "Strengthening Legislatures in Pacific Island Countries Phase 2" (SLIP II) project is designed to address the unique development challenges faced by legislatures in the Pacific Island nations. The project aims to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of these legislatures by focusing on several key areas:

• Capacity Building: Improving the skills and knowledge of legislators and parliamentary staff to better fulfill their roles and responsibilities.
• Institutional Strengthening: Developing stronger institutional frameworks and processes to support legislative functions.
• Public Engagement: Enhancing the ability of legislatures to engage with the public and represent their interests effectively.
• Legislative Oversight: Strengthening the oversight capabilities of legislatures to ensure accountability and transparency in governance.

These efforts are aimed at creating more robust and effective legislative bodies that can better serve their constituents and contribute to the overall governance and development of their countries. The project acknowledges the diverse challenges faced by each Pacific Island nation and tailors its interventions to meet the specific needs of each legislature.
