"Transparency International and its national chapters in Africa welcomed the approval, by the African Union's Ministerial Conference held in Addis Abab ... Transparancy International is particularly pleased to note that this new convention contains provisions that should guarantee access to information and the participation of civil society and the media in the monitoring process. Also noteworthy is Article 10, which seeks to ban the use of funds acquired through illicit and corrupt practices to finance political parties; and Article 7(C) which requires state parties to adopt legislative measures to facilitate the repatriation of the proceeds of corruption."
