African Peer Review Mechanism

The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is an initiative created by the African Union in 2003 to promote good governance among its member countries. It allows participating nations to voluntarily review each other's policies and practices in areas like democracy, economic management, and social development. Through this process, countries can identify strengths and weaknesses, share best practices, and enhance accountability. The goal is to improve governance, foster development, and ultimately contribute to stability and prosperity across the continent. The mechanism encourages transparency and mutual learning among African states.
