The weeklong study visit was aimed at exchanging best practices and enhancing parliamentary administration and procedures.
The visit focused on several critical areas of parliamentary operations where Ghana has developed notable expertise.
However, the visit will also see discussions centered around the efficiency of the legislative process, the functioning and support systems for parliamentary committees, strategies for enhancing public engagement and outreach, the integration of technology in parliamentary work, and the overall administrative framework supporting the legislature.
Reacting to the development, Kalipha M.M. Mbye, acknowledged that Ghana's Parliament is recognized for its robust democratic institutions and progressive approaches to parliamentary business.
"We came to learn firsthand about the mechanisms that drive their success, particularly in areas like administrative effectiveness and leveraging technology for greater transparency and accessibility."
The exchange visit, he added, is also expected to provide valuable insights into how the Parliament of Ghana manages its legislative calendar, facilitates debate, ensures oversight, and connects with its citizens.
For Mr. Camillo Pwamang, Deputy Clerk in-charge of Legislative Management Services, on behalf of the Clerk to Parliament, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, welcomed the initiative, emphasizing the importance of peer learning among parliamentary institutions.
"We are delighted to host the delegation from the National Assembly of The Gambia. Sharing our experiences and also learning from their perspectives is crucial for the continuous growth and strengthening of parliamentary democracy across the continent and beyond." he added.
The benchmarking visit, he went on, is expected to usher in potential reforms and improvements in the operational efficiency and effectiveness of National Assembly Service, drawing on the lessons learned from Ghana's parliamentary experience.
