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.
The Pillars of the APRM
The APRM is built upon the following four pillars:
- Political and Democratic Governance,
- Economic Governance and Management
- Corporate Governance
- Socio-economic Development.
Economic Governance and Management
The Economic Governance and Management pillar seeks to examine progress made in the implementation of the National Programme of Action, as regards this thematic area. It shows the accomplishments made between July 2008 and December 2008. It highlights key challenges that Kenya is facing in implementing the National Programme of Action, and further incorporates the voices of the people, as far as economic growth and development is concerened. |
