The CPA, now in its 110th year, exists to develop, promote and support Parliamentarians and parliamentary staff to identify benchmarks of good governance and to implement the enduring values of the Commonwealth. The Association works across an international community of 180 Commonwealth Parliaments and Legislatures working together to deepen the Commonwealth’s commitment to the highest standards of democratic governance.
The CPA Headquarters Secretariat has worked with external developers, CSI Media and Fabric IT to develop the designs and back office elements of the new site and to launch the new website.
