African Parliamentary Strengthening Program (APSP) for Budget Oversight

The African Parliamentary Strengthening Program (APSP) for Budget Oversight has helped seven African parliaments to develop and implement strategies to strengthen their overall role at all stages of the national budget process. The APSP sought to help increase the financial accountability of these partner parliaments, with a view to contribute to improved democratic governance. The APSP also supported the work of partner parliaments to curb corruption through the African Parliamentarians’ Network Against Corruption (APNAC), for which the Centre hosted its Secretariat.
