Historical Charter

Bridging governance gaps through legislative consensus

SAPNAC was founded by a coalition of sitting and veteran legislators committed to unifying anti-corruption policy frameworks across Southern Africa. By operating beyond individual party lines, the network coordinates regional responses to public financial mismanagement.

Governed by a non-partisan Executive Bureau composed of active and veteran public representatives, the collective maintains formal bilateral liaisons with national parliamentary public accounts committees.
