Africa Parliamentary Monitoring Organizations Network (APMON)

APMON is committed to enhancing parliamentary transparency, accountability, and citizen inclusion in parliamentary work across the continent. Our objectives include promoting access to parliaments; developing tools to evaluate parliamentary performance; monitoring parliament for anti-corruption reforms; fostering citizen engagement with their national and regional parliaments; and facilitating peer learning among Parliamentary Engagement and Monitoring Organizations (PEMOs) to showcase best practices in parliamentary work and to contribute to the overall progress in transparency and openness among African parliaments.

APMON was founded on the principles of transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement. With its secretariat sitting in Accra, we are dedicated to collaborating with national and regional parliaments across Africa to promote openness and inclusivity.
