AWEPA has joined an online debate in preparation for the Round Table "Whose ownership? Whose leadership" at the upcoming 3rd High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Accra, Ghana, 2-4 September 2008.
Lord Chidgey stressed the importance of support for strengthening parliaments in Africa, and praised the 'crucial assistance' that AWEPA and other international organisations provide.
Graça Machel, Mary Robinson and Desmond Tutu of the AWEPA Eminent Advisory Board were amongst twelve Elders to urge that the African Union condemn the June 27 elections in Zimbabwe as illegitimate.
