African Peer Review Mechanism: insight and perspectives

The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is a review mechanism settled for and by African countries. 34 countries on 54 voluntarily joined the APRM. Its aim is to assess state practice of governance in four areas: democracy and political governance, economic governance and management, corporate governance and socioeconomic development. It allows for a self-assessment, an external assessment and a peer review, and so creates two-folded dialog opportunity: between state and its civil society and between states themselves.
