Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM)

The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is a mutually agreed instrument voluntarily acceded to by the Member State of the African Union (AU) as an African self-monitoring mechanism.

The mandate of the APRM is to encourage participating Member States in ensuring that their policies and practices conform to the agreed political, economic and corporate governance values, codes and standards, and that mutually agreed objectives in socio-economic development contained in the New Partnership for African's Development (NEPAD) are achieved.

Kenya was among the first four African states along with Ghana, Rwanda and Mauritius, to accede to the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) in March, 2004 in Abuja Nigeria. More information about the APRM Process in Kenya can be viewed in the APRM Kenya website.
