Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Governing Council, Minister Fraser-Moleketi
14 February 2006
The Chairperson of the (APRM) Governing Council in South Africa, Minister
Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, will receive Parliament's self assessment report on
Thursday, 16 February 2006.
The APRM is a country self-assessment process, voluntarily acceded to by
member states of the African Union (AU) to assess the performance of their
countries in the areas of Democracy and Good Political Governance, Economic
Governance and Management, Corporate Governance and Socio-Economic Development.
Parliament's report was compiled by four ad hoc committees appointed by both
houses of parliament.
The report will be incorporated into the overall country self-assessment
report, which is to be debated at the second National Consultative Conference
in April. The primary purpose of the APRM process is to foster the adoption of
policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high
economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated sub-regional and
continental economic integration.
Other institutions and sectors of the South African society are also taking
part in the country self-assessment process by completing the APRM
questionnaire, which is available on the APRM and Department of Public Service
and Administration websites (http://www.aprm.org.za and http://www.dpsa.gov.za respectively),
Multi-Purpose Community Centres, through Community Development Workers and at
APRM workshops.
As Chairperson of the APRM Governing Council, Minister Fraser-Moleketi is
responsible for leading South Africa's country self-assessment process. All
media is invited to the handing over of the Parliamentary report, to be held as
follows:
