CPA Parliamentary Academy
What We Do

Our Cross-Cutting Themes

We are committed to mainstreaming six cross-cutting themes throughout our operations and workstreams.

We will work to ensure that these themes are fully integrated across the CPA Secretariat’s ways of working and that they underpin the development and delivery of all CPA budgets, programmes, communications, partnerships and evaluation methods.

Through mainstreaming these themes into our work and decision-making processes, we will create a more inclusive, responsive and relevant organisation.
