This was contained in the statement signed by the CEO, Mr. Summy Obeng. According to him the vision of Parliamentary News Africa is [ads1]become Africa’s most impactful nonprofit organization that “ensures Open Parliaments across the entire continent, propels us to build synergies with people and organisations within the civil society space and with related groups.”
“Having been setup to use media as a tool to bridge the gap between legislative assemblies in Africa and the people of Africa, we publish Africa’s most comprehensive parliamentary news website – www.parliamentafrica.com, as well as the much acclaimed Parliamentary Newspaper of Ghana.” – Mr. Obeng said
“We understand that Parliament is a very technical institution with age-long procedures and practices that govern their order of operations. A deeper understanding of these are needed by CSOs, PMOs and other allied bodies that seek to pursue specific interventions with parliaments and MPs. Having worked directly with the Parliaments of Ghana and Sierra Leone and engaged with many other legislative assemblies across the continent for many years, PNAfrica is positioned to support CSOs and PMOs in the areas of advancing advocacies to Parliaments; capacity building on parliamentary practices and procedures; and strategic partnerships for programmes & projects implementations.” – he added
