Strengthening institutions of governance and accountability is a central pillar of the work of the SADC Parliamentary Forum.

Conformément au Plan stratégique du Forum (2019-2023), le respect de la responsabilité et de la transparence financières est un principe directeur du Forum ; tandis que la bonne gouvernance et la planification prudentielle restent des valeurs essentielles auxquelles le Forum souscrit.
