The Forum aims to:
- Provide parliamentarians and parliamentary staff with key policy insights from the implementation of the VPoA, along with the main developmental challenges and opportunities for parliaments to effectively contribute to implementation of APoA.
- Promote discussion and exchange of experiences among parliamentarians to accelerate the achievement of the new PoA through their political work and functions at the local, national and regional levels.
- Identify and share recommendations on concrete actions that LLDC parliaments can put in place to comprehensively mainstream the priority areas of the PoA into their core functions (law-making, oversight, budget, representation), stimulate broader political commitment and support for such actions, and ensure effective and coherent implementation more broadly.
