Parliamentary Centre

Published purpose

The objective of this project, coordinated by the Parliamentary Centre, is to increase parliamentary budget oversight capacity and accountability and create more transparent national budget processes in select African parliaments. This includes support to the African Parliamentarians' Network against Corruption (APNAC) for training parliamentarians and civil society on anti-corruption measures. By 2014, this project aims to: strengthen regional collaboration among parliamentarians; provide training to over nine hundred parliamentarians, parliamentary staff, and civil society representatives (including women's groups) leading to strengthened budget oversight capacities and accountability to citizens; and improve the ability of the selected African parliaments and civil society groups to fight corruption.
