The Parliament of Ghana has announced that it will host the 9th Biennial Conference of the African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNAC) from November 7 to 9, 2025, at the Alisa Hotel, North Ridge, Accra.

According to a statement issued by the Parliamentary Service and signed by David Sebastian Damoah, Director of Media Relations, the event will be held under the auspices of the Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.

The upcoming APNAC Conference 2025 is expected to bring together African parliamentarians, anti-corruption experts, civil society leaders, and governance stakeholders from across the continent. The gathering will focus on developing effective strategies to combat corruption and promote transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Held under the theme “Strengthening Accountability for Sustainable Development in Africa,” the conference aims to foster continental collaboration and share best practices that enhance the legislative role in fighting corruption. It will also serve as a platform for policy reform discussions, institutional strengthening, and multi-sectoral partnerships.

The statement said the Parliament of Ghana is proud to host this significant gathering, as it underscores the country’s commitment to advancing integrity, ethical leadership, and good governance both nationally and across Africa.

The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, will deliver the keynote address during the official opening ceremony on Friday, November 7, 2025.

The African Parliamentarians Against Corruption (APNAC) is a continental organization that seeks to coordinate, involve, and strengthen the capacities of African Members of Parliament (MPs) to fight corruption and promote good governance.

Established in 1999 in Kampala, Uganda, APNAC promotes accountability, transparency, and public participation in governance as key tools for curbing corruption. Through its National Chapters in Eastern, Southern, and Western Africa, APNAC works closely with other anti-corruption bodies and development partners across the continent and globally.

Its core objectives include building the capacity of parliamentarians to exercise oversight—particularly on financial matters—sharing information on best anti-corruption strategies, promoting projects based on best practices, and collaborating with civil society organizations with similar goals.

The Parliamentary Service of Ghana encouraged the media and the public to follow the conference proceedings and support the initiative toward building a corruption-free Africa.
