Following a civic-parliamentary partnership approach, “Health and governance in the COVID and post-COVID regional context” contains texts that present for readers’ consideration facts and insights from a variety of stakeholders, with the aim of contributing towards corruption-prevention and inclusive and informed decision-making in the ASEAN region.
The volume is motivated by the AIPA Resolution on Creation of Annual Consultative Working Group Cofacilitated by AIPA and PCAsia to Promote Transparent Data and Knowledge Sharing in Health Emergency Preparedness and Responses (Res.43GA/2022/Org/11) adopted by AIPA Member Parliaments on 23 November 2022 during AIPA’s 43rd General Assembly. The partnership approach utilised in these collected texts can be particularly important in the context of health crises, when policies can be formulated without safeguards such as citizen engagement, parliamentary research and budgetary analysis, which tends to increase the risks of inefficiency and corruption
This compendium is the result of a joint initiative between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Parliamentary Centre of Asia (PCAsia) to strengthen the capacity of ASEAN parliaments in overseeing climate finance. The collaborative project on “Strengthening the Roles of ASEAN Parliaments for Enhancing Transparency and Accountability of Climate Finance,” is part of an effort to support legislative institutions engage more effectively with resourcing mechanisms and to meet national climate
targets.
