Workshop on oversight, representation and diplomacy kicks off in Johannesburg

The Secretariat of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) is currently holding its second capacity building workshop. The objective of the training is to develop frameworks or models on oversight, representation, and diplomacy in line with the Protocol and Parliament’s strategic vision, together with the realignment of resources to fulfil its mandate with greater efficiency. The frameworks will later be presented to members of Parliament for endorsement and implementation.

The workshop is conducted by PAP Staff, experts and representatives from National Parliaments including Rwanda, South Africa, Tunisia and Uganda. The PAP Secretariat is also scheduled to receive a briefing from the Department of International Relations and Cooperation of the Republic of South Africa on the host country agreement.

The capacity building activity is being implemented under the auspices of the African Governance Architecture (AGA) project. The overall objective of the AGA project is to contribute to good governance, respect for human rights, justice, and the rule of law in Africa, in accordance with Aspiration 3 and 6 of Agenda 2063 of the African Union.
