African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)

The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is an initiative established by the African Union to promote good governance and development among African countries. It encourages member states to assess their own policies and practices in areas like political governance, economic management, corporate governance, and social development. Countries voluntarily participate in the APRM process, sharing their results and learning from each other, which fosters accountability and encourages improvements. By holding peers accountable, the APRM aims to enhance the overall quality of governance and promote sustainable development across the continent.
