Abstract:

This article is based on extracts from the report of the International Workshop on the Promotion of Participatory Development Processes in the Fight Against Poverty and Exclusion. The author, Ruth Möller, is Senior Development Policy Officer with the Social Democrat Group in the German Federal Parliament. She presents an account of the history of German MPs' participation in EDPs since 1985. She then discusses the impact of an EDP in which a whole parliamentary working group, the Study Commission on Globalisation of the World Economy, took part. Although both the President of Parliament and this parliamentary working group now recommend EDPs, the author acknowledges that there is still a long way to go before EDPs are fully institutionalised in the German Parliament.
