The African Union Advisory Board against Corruption (AUABC) has announced the postponement of the 8th African Anti-Corruption Dialogue.

The decision to postpone the event comes amidst logistical challenges and intention to increase engagement.

"We aim to provide a platform for stakeholder engagement on advancing regional efforts to combat corruption and promote good governance across the African continent, "the statement said.
