CPA ANNUAL REPORT AND PERFORMANCE REVIEW 2021
Working with Partner Organisations 1
The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) works closely with a wide range of partners to deliver its programme work aimed at strengthening the institution of Parliament, supporting and promoting parliamentary democracy and the political values of the Commonwealth.
2
Working with partner organisations allows for not only greater institutional support (direct support) aimed at supporting Commonwealth legislatures but also thematic support (issue-based support) for the purpose of promoting specific policy goals, such as poverty reduction, environmental protection, anti-corruption, trade, and human rights.
3
CPA programmes are delivered in partnership with CPA Branches and international organisations including international parliamentary associations, such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union; other international bodies, such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UN Women, as well as Commonwealth organisations and universities.
4
Partnering with organisations that share similar values, aims and objectives leads to better information sharing, less duplication and lower programme costs as well as an agenda that extends beyond Parliament to include the wider political system.
5
There is however further scope for international partnerships to develop and if you are interested in working with the CPA Headquarters Secretariat then please contact us at hq.sec@cpahq.
