governance. GOPAC became a legal entity in the fall of 2003 – a not-for-profit under Canadian law. GOPAC is unique in that it is the only international network of parliamentarians focused solely on combating corruption. They are current or former legislators or legislators who have been denied their right to take office. Their collaboration is non-partisan. GOPAC’s programming model uses Global Task Forces (GTF) to promote agendas identified by membership through a regionally representative group of parliamentarians that champion each topic. The GOPAC Board and Global Secretariat support GTFs with handbooks, workshops and capacity building among parliamentarians worldwide. Through its GTFs GOPAC can support the introduction of legislative and oversight changes in national parliaments to control corruption, promote good governance and hold the Executive more accountable to the people. Anti-Money Laundering GTF, United Nations Convention Against Corruption GTF, Parliamentary Oversight GTF, Parliamentary Ethics and Conduct GTF, and Open Parliament and Participation of Society GTF. GOPAC’s vision is to
achieve accountability and transparency through effective anti-corruption mechanisms and inclusive participation and cooperation between parliamentarians, government and civil society. To achieve this vision, GOPAC’s mission is to
assist and support parliamentarians in their advocacy and legislation to make governments accountable and transparent. GOPAC members are the leaders in the fight against corruption. They are current or former legislators, or legislators who have been denied their right to take office, and their collaboration is non-partisan and voluntary. We currently number over 1000 members worldwide and growing men and women fighting corruption at the national, regional and global level.
