They provide oversight for all subsequent stages of the APRM. To achieve maximum impact, NGCs need to be free of political interference, have clear and concise mandates, and receive meaningful technical support. To date, a lack of consistency across APRM countries on the protocols for NGCs, including their scope of responsibility and sources of funding, has tended to hinder progress. Continued efforts towards standardising APRM processes, especially with regard to NGC activities, may contribute to more efficient CSAR and APRM outcomes going forward.
