Fostering learning & collaboration
According to a press release from the HoA, the event was designed to foster learning and collaboration between members of the VI PAC and their counterparts in Jersey.
During this workshop, according to the HoA, participants engaged in various activities aimed at enhancing their understanding of PAC operations. These included observing preparatory meetings for public hearings, attending live public hearings, and participating in debriefing sessions afterwards.
“The BVI PAC recognises the importance of this opportunity and anticipates that the insights gained will enhance its ability to scrutinise public funds effectively,” the press release stated.
This initiative was funded by CPA UK as part of its commitment to strengthening parliamentary scrutiny across the Commonwealth’s Overseas Territories (OTs).
