CPA Strategic Plan - Consultation for 2026-2029 plan

As the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) prepares our Strategic Plan for 2026-2029, we have been consulting with a range of stakeholders to enable both CPA Branches and Members, as well as partner organisations, to have their voices heard.

This consultation process has featured several stages in order to:

  1. Receive feedback about how our current work streams could be developed, adapted or improved in the future.
  2. Consider ways in which the CPA's new international status could provide opportunities for increasing the impact of the CPA's work.
  3. Provide an opportunity for CPA Branches and Members as well as other partners to suggest potential new areas of work in the future.

Views have been sourced from CPA Branches and Members, the CPA Executive Committee and external stakeholders.

You can read the DRAFT CPA Strategic Plan for 2026-2029 by clicking here. This has been developed following the different stages of the consultation.

The outcomes of this consultation process be incorporated into the drafting of the CPA Strategic Plan for 2026-2029, which will be presented to the CPA Executive Committee and the CPA General Assembly for discussion and approval when it meets in Barbados in October 2025 at the 68th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference.

  • The current consultation process have now closed.
  • Any questions regarding this process should be sent to the CPA Secretary-General. 
If you have any further feedback or questions regarding this consultation then please email hq.sec@cpahq,org.

The Commonwealth Charter is a document of the values and aspirations which unite the Commonwealth.
