The Jordanian Parliament Monitor (the Monitor) is an independent, non-partisan project launched by Al-Quds Center for Political Studies in 2008 with the support of the National Democracy Institute for International Affairs (NDI). It is aimed at developing partnership between Parliament and civil society organizations by enhancing parliamentary practices both at the legislative and oversight levels through the provision of best international practices and expertise.

Legislatures have a critical role to play in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). This guide provides legislators with information about the EITI process and offers practical suggestions for them to encourage the government to participate and ensure that the EITI program is successful. It is designed primarily for legislators and their staff, but political leaders, government officials, civil society organizations and international actors may also find it helpful.

Using case studies from numerous countries including the Czech Republic, Israel, Italy, Poland and South Africa, Legislative Oversight and Budgeting brings together scholars and practitioners to explore oversight from a variety of perspectives and legislative settings.
