The Jordanian Masarat Foundation for Development and Progress and Germany’s Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) held a conference on Sunday to launch a project to strengthen institutional cooperation between parliament and civil society. The project, which targets the parliament’s general secretariat, seeks to institutionalize the relationship between the parliament and civil society organizations (CSOs) through syndicates or parties, and to promote discussion and deliberation on public issues of concern to citizens, according to Deputy Chairman of Masarat Omar Ayasra. The conference comprises a multitude of sessions that delve into various topics, with the involvement of deputies, civil society representatives, notable personalities, and political leaders. The event’s schedule includes three sessions that will discuss the perceived relationship between parliament and CSOs, the challenges that CSOs face, and ways to achieve institutionalization between the two parties.
