The CPA exists to connect, develop, promote and support Parliamentarians and their

staff to identify benchmarks of good governance,

and implement the enduring

values of the Commonwealth.

The CPA collaborates with Parliaments and other organisations, including the

intergovernmental community, to achieve its Statement of Purpose.

Commonwealth Heads of Government have recognised the Parliaments and

Legislatures of the Commonwealth as essential elements in the exercise of

democratic governance, and have endorsed the efforts of the Association as the

parliamentary partner of the Commonwealth’s governmental and non-governmental

sectors.

CPA activities focus on the Commonwealth’s commitment to its fundamental political

values, including: just and honest government, the alleviation of poverty,

fundamental human rights, international peace and order, global economic

development, the rule of law, equal rights and representation for all citizens of both

genders, the separation of powers among the three branches of government and the

right to participate in free and democratic political processes.

The financial year of the Association is based on the calendar year. The Association

has three funds (the CPA Main Fund, CPA Working Capital Fund and CPA

Conference Assistance Fund). The Main Fund has an annual turnover of

approximately £2.6m and the two Trust Funds have combined investments value of

just over £5m.
