The Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) and International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) are launching a framework for action on monitoring campaign and political finance during the Political Finance Transparency and Oversight International Roundtable in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on 23 September 2026.

ANFREL Executive Director Brizza Rosales and International IDEA Senior Programme Manager Adhy Aman will co-present the report “Citizen Monitoring of Political and Campaign Finance in Asia: A Framework for Action” during Parallel Track B (Civil Society, Media and Researchers). The session will be moderated by Open Government Partnership Advisor for Policy & Partnership Ling Panyasevanamit.

The session highlights a broader three-day gathering convened by the General Election Commission of Mongolia from 22–24 September 2026 at Galleria Ulaanbaatar.

The roundtable is organized as a follow-up to UNCAC Resolution 11/7 on enhancing transparency and accountability in political finance which was adopted at the 11th Conference of the States Parties in Doha. It brings together oversight institutions, electoral management bodies, anti-corruption and audit authorities, parliamentarians, civil society, researchers, and international partners for a practical exchange on how political finance transparency is enforced in practice and how its impact can be measured. International partners include UNODC, International IDEA, IFES, Transparency International, and Open Society Forum.

It aims to serve as a platform to discuss practical pathways for operationalizing UNCAC Resolution 11/7 and supporting future international guidance and implementation tools, while inspiring reform-oriented countries across Asia to take bold steps forward.

The program opens with an invitation-only pre-conference session on 22 September, followed by two days of plenary and parallel sessions on 23 and 24 September at Galleria Ulaanbaatar.
