GOPAC Global Task Force on Parliamentary Oversight (GTF-PO)

Highlights

GOPAC members see parliamentary oversight as weak in many regions and countries and that improved oversight can play an important role in preventing corruption.

    In the near term the Global Task Force will focus on:
  • incentives for oversight – measures that can be taken by Parliaments and parliamentarians;
  • oversight of UNCAC implementation;
  • oversight of development aid and revenues from extractive industries (i.e. resource revenue transparency); and
  • the adaptation of the Financial Oversight handbook for parliamentarians to better align with regional and national circumstances.
