The Challenges of the Parliamentary Oversight on the Development Plans

The Development Plans, although were supposed to be in charge of policy development plans and medium-term development in Iran, but past experiences indicate that they have not been successful. Even post-parliamentary oversight on these plans, due to the factors under consideration, has not been able to play an effective role in development plans. The impact of the former political structure on development plans, the problems in the preparation and approval phase and their interaction with the supervision and objections of the legislation and the lack of attention to the characteristics of the plan laws are considered as the main challenges of parliamentary oversight in this regard. The present paper first analyzes the concept of the development plan and parliamentary oversight, and then examines the challenges of parliamentary oversight.
