EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In its capacity as the Secretariat for the CPA British Islands and Mediterranean Region, CPA UK organised an Election Observer Mission to Montserrat for its General Election in September 2014. The election resulted in the Montserrat Legislative Assembly altering its composition to include six new MLAs out of a total of nine. CPA BIMR offered to continue its engagement with the Montserrat Legislative Assembly to strengthen the capacity of these newer parliamentarians and bring them up to speed with their more experienced and established colleagues. Between the 14 and 15 January 2015, CPA BIMR organised a Post-Election Seminar in Montserrat. The Seminar was arranged with the support of the Legislative Assembly, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Government of Montserrat and the Governor’s Office. The Seminar comprised of a number of roundtable sessions covering various topics related to the role of parliamentarians. These topics were selected to meet the specific needs of legislators in Montserrat and complement the induction work already organised. There were also a number of interactive sessions on communication skills. The format of the programme was intended to be as dynamic and flexible as possible. 2. AIM & OBJECTIVES Aim The aim of the Post-Election Seminar was to strengthen the knowledge, skills and confidence of the newly elected Members of the Montserrat Legislative Assembly through sharing best practice with experienced Commonwealth Parliamentarians.
