SEAPAC is a regional organization in the Southeast Asia Region that houses members of parliament who uphold anti-corruption values.
In the Assembly session, Indonesia proposed the SEAPAC Regional Action Plan for 2023, which will prioritize research and knowledge advocacy.
SEAPAC will provide parliamentarians with more knowledge products, including through the development of regional knowledge databases on specific issues.
The hope is that members from different countries can gain comparative knowledge from their counterparts to help them develop better oversight and policy development.
In the future, SEAPAC will also develop regional-based knowledge products such as guidebooks, policy directions, research, reports and assessment guides.
