A Good Governance Driver: Is the African Peer Review Mechanism Up to It?

The introduction of the AU’s Agenda 2063 means that yet another governance initiative has entered the African political landscape.

This policy briefing examines the place of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) within Agenda 2063, as well as the African Governance Architecture (AGA). It argues that the APRM could effectively exist alongside them. However, at 12 years old, the APRM must first be reinvigorated, given its relative decline and the inadequate political will behind it.
