In conclusion it was noted that there were also issues and challenges facing the members of the Africa group. The Africa geopolitical group consisted of some relatively rich countries and some very poor countries. Some countries were confronted with civil wars, climate change, food insecurity and mass migration. In some states in Africa there was even difficulty in financing the operations of their parliaments. Therefore while it was recognized that changes had been made to the assessments formula, the Africa geopolitical group appealed to the IPU to find ways to assist African parliaments to pay their contributions and remain full members of the IPU.
