REGIONAL MEETING TO PRE-TEST KNOWLEDGE TOOLS FOR PARLIAMENTARIANS AND STAKEHOLDERS IN CURBING CORRUPTION AND PROMOTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE SADC REGION TO BE HELD ON 6TH AND 7TH FEBRUARY 2023 IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

CONCEPT NOTE

1.0 Introduction

Strengthening institutions of governance and accountability is a central pillar of the work of the SADC Parliamentary Forum. In this regard, the SADC PF Constitution enjoins the Forum "to promote the principles of … governance … within the SADC Region." 1 This is critical given that SADC Member States face various governance related challenges as evidenced by the poor results during corruption perception index (CPI) and other governance related surveys. For instance, the according to the 2021 corruption perception index (CPI), only three countries of the region are above 50 percentage point, namely Seychelles (70), Botswana (55) and Mauritius (54).
