The project “Parliament’s Constituency Relations Network” (PCRN) is jointly financed by SDC and the Parliament of the Republic of Macedonia. The project builds on a previous project for constituency relations offices which had been implemented by NDI under USAID funding (2003-2006). The first Swiss funded phase (2007 to 2009) was mainly implemented by NDI. The current, second phase under Swiss funding (2009 to 2012) is mainly implemented by the Institute of Parliamentary Democracy (IPD). IPD is a legacy organisation of the National Democratic Institute (NDI). According to the project documents, the overall goal of the current phase of the project is that “Democratic practices of constituency communication become a sustainable, integral fully functional system of the Parliament, further increasing the practice of accountability and regular consultation of MPs with constituents regarding legal proposals.\"This evaluation is at the same time backward and forward looking. According to the ToRs the evaluation should look at the achievements of the project so far, should assess which approaches have proven successful and which have not and the lessons learned as well as provide conclusions and recommendations for the future. The recommendations are supposed to focus on actions that can ensure a smooth transfer to parliament as well as still possible improvements to the PCR network during the last year of the current phase from the perspective of the citizens and of the MPs.All discussion partners were supportive of the PCRN. They underlined the importance of the project for better communication between MPs and citizens and also stressed that the constituency offices are one of the few avenues for citizens to get into contact with elected representatives. At the same time, there is some lack of clarity about the strategic orientation of the project (the constituency offices as personal offices of the MP or as regional service-centers of parliament) and the project is ‘high maintenance’, requiring substantial financial means and human resources. Procedures, e.g. for setting up offices are time consuming and tedious.
