GOPAC offers the following programming:
  • GOPAC's Anti Money Laundering Initiative (AMLI) - is chaired by Hon. Roy Cullen of Canada. The program focuses on the important role that parliamentarins play in influencing legilsation and engaging the public in AML initiatives globally. However, to do so, they must understand how money laundering occurs and the mechanisms for its mitigation. They also need the support of recognized experts and a global voice. This program attempts to address this need.

  • Supporting the implementation of the UN Convention Against Corruption - and related regional conventions -over the next 3-5 years. This initiative is co-chaired by Sen Edgardo Angara of the Philippines.

  • The Global Conference - the Board of Directors organizes a conference every two years to which all the members and observers are invited. The Conference debates any issue, which falls within the scope of the Organization’s objectives or any related matters and makes subsequent recommendations.
