| African Parliamentarians Network
Against Corruption (APNAC) is a network, which aims at coordinating,
involving and strengthening the capacity of African Parliamentarians
to fight corruption and promote good governance. The network
was formed in 1999 in Kampala, Uganda during a regional
workshop on "Parliament and Good Governance".
Participants acknowledged that corruption could best be
controlled by strengthening systems of accountability, transparency,
and increasing public participation in the governance process
of African nations.
They further appreciated the great value of information
sharing, maintaining contacts with each other, and reaching
out to other parliamentarians and parliamentary organizations,
throughout Africa on the issue of corruption.
The instrument chosen was the formation of a network called
"African Parliamentarians Network Against Corruption"
(APNAC). |
