The National Assembly Member for Sannehmentereng, Fatou Cham, is attending the CPA Parliamentary Academy: Advanced Parliamentary Development Residency Programme for MP currently underway in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This five-day high-level meeting, slated from 22 to 28 September 2024, is designed to arm lawmakers with the requisite knowledge to serve as better performing legislators, representatives and scrutineers.

Besides, the course will also afford both experienced senior officials and their newcomers the opportunity to enhance their skills on topics ranging from leadership and strategic thinking to project management and conflict resolution and mediation.

The Gambia legislator said the course will focus on developing universal skills that can be applicable both in parliaments and outside.

She, however, noted that it is important to stress that the course does not directly focus on parliamentary practice and procedure.

"One key aspect of the residency programme will be a focus on ‘training for trainers’ which is intended to embed sustainability into parliamentary learning and development." she said.
