The African Network of Open Parliaments was officially launched on May 7, 2026, during a parliamentary day held as part of the African Open Government Partnership (OGP) Conference in Rabat, Morocco. The announcement was made by the House of Representatives in a press release.
The network aims to promote transparency, citizen participation, and accountability among African parliaments. It brings together parliamentary representatives from several African countries committed to open government principles.
The initiative is part of broader efforts under the Open Government Partnership to strengthen democratic institutions and public trust across the continent. The Moroccan House of Representatives played a key role in hosting and organizing the event.
