The meeting was held on Wednesday, 31 March. Ms Shope-Sithole, Ms Kohler- Barnard and Ms Wenger attended the meeting. The moderator for the session was Mr Kagisa Molatlhegi (Botswana). The meeting took note of the resolution adopted unanimously by the 118th Assembly in Cape Town on "Parliamentary oversight of state policies on foreign aid". Since 2005 government has made major commitments to reform official development assistance and make aid work with better results on the ground. Within this context the role of parliaments was also being redefined and there was now a renewed emphasis on the responsibilities of parliaments and a move to strengthen their capacity in this regard.
