The Parliamentary Network Africa (PNAfrica), on 17th August 2021, have launched the Open Parliament Engagements and Networking in West Africa (OPEN West Africa) project in Accra, Ghana. The project will enhance peer-to-peer sharing of experience and best practices towards promoting parliamentary openness across national and subnational legislative bodies.
The role of parliamentary monitoring by non-state actors towards the promotion of openness has been emerging in Africa over the years. Studies have shown that PMOs encounter enormous challenges in their monitoring of parliament, especially in relation to having access to information. This and the lack of platforms or communities of PMOs within and across sub-Saharan Africa does not help to achieve the ultimate goal of effectively strengthening parliamentary transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and increasing citizens participation in African parliaments.
To help address these problems, the OPEN West Africa project is being implemented by Parliamentary Network Africa (PNAfrica) with suppport from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). The project seeks to establish a community of PMOs in the West Africa sub-region for the purpose of sharing experiences and best practices towards promoting parliamentary openness in the ECOWAS Parliament and national parliaments in the Region, and strengthen parliamentary openness across national and regional legislatures in West Africa through a legislative transparency tool.
Through the OPEN West Africa project PNAfrica will support the creation of platforms that will enhance peer learning and experience sharing among PMOs in West Africa through regular dialogue and resources sharing in order to equip them with skills that will strengthen the capacities of PMOs to effectively monitor parliaments which are cornerstone of democracy in Africa, and towards strengthening transparency, accountability and inclusiveness across the parliaments in the sub-region, including regional Parliaments.
The project inception hosted parliamentary experts from across the world to share lessons of network building and maintenance, effective parliamentary monitoring, and identified the challenges that PMOs face on the continent of Africa.
