Maldives Majlis Monitoring Program: Parliament Good Governance and Performance

The Maldives Majlis Monitoring Program is a parliamentary monitoring organization (PMO) that is working to create strong, open and accountable parliaments, through enhancing citizen participation in the legislative process and bringing parliaments closer to the people they represent.

We calculate the time value of every single intervention in parliament that is recorded in the Hansard and official records. Everyone is assessed on the same basis. This is what determines the ranking. Those with the highest time contribution to the activities of parliament get the highest ranks. Deduction of the time value of disruptive contributions. Hence, what is calculated on the MaldivesMajlisMonitoring.com is the "net-constructive-time".

Restrictions on time allocations exist during Bill debates in parliament. Other tools such as petitions, adjournment motion debates and written questions are open to any MPs without time restrictions. MPs public engagements, ethical conduct and public trust factor is calculated through random surveys of constituents.

Our work is guided and supported by a network of international and national partners including the Open Parliament guidelines and Global Parliamentary Reporting standards.
