- Parliaments
Nearly every country in the world has some form of parliament. Parliamentary systems fall into two categories: bicameral and unicameral. Out of 190 national parliaments in the world, 78 are bicameral (156 chambers) and 112 are unicameral, making a total of 268 chambers of parliament with some 44,000 members of parliament. IPU membership is made up of 180 national parliamentsFind a national parliament

Delivering public engagement with small teams
Summary
10:00-11:00 (Geneva, CEST)
This seminar addresses how parliaments with few resources can implement effective public engagement. This affects small parliaments and those with limited resources overall. In these parliaments public engagement often needs to be delivered by very small teams, with limited budgets. The seminar will explore how the small team of the Parliament of the Isle of Man has developed capacity for delivering innovative public engagement programmes despite its very small team. This will be supplemented by reflections from an UNDP official on his experience supporting public engagement in the Pacific islands.
