Established in 2003, the APRM is a mutually agreed instrument for self-assessment, peer-learning, and experience-sharing in democracy and good governance voluntarily acceded by the member states of the African Union (AU) primarily to foster the adoption of policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable and inclusive development, as well as accelerated regional and continental integration. It is also to ensure the monitoring and evaluation of AU Agenda 2063 and SDGs 2030.
The Review Mission is taking place from 06-22 December 2021 with the NGC at the core of the functioning and success of the review mission through mobilizing and ensuring participation of all stakeholders and citizens in the review process.
