Book excerpt: "The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is an innovative approach to improving African governance.

The first in-depth study of the APRM, this ground-breaking book analyses the evolving peer review process in the first five countries. The product of a five-year research and training programme, it combines in-depth analysis of the APRM rules with an insightful evaluation of the political and social dynamics. Drawing on extensive interviews across the continent, it offers sounds recommendations to strengthen the process and deepen public participation. An invaluable resource for civil society and governments, this volume includes an interactive APRM Toolkit CD-ROM with the official APRM guidelines, final country reports, survey instruments, academic papers, video testimonials and a comprehensive collection of the governance codes and standards embraced by the APRM."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: "African Solutions is a result of research into the policies, programmes and experiences identified as best practices in the Country Review Reports (CRRs) of twelve countries published under the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), from Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda. The research was commissioned and coordinated by the Governance and APRM Programme of the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA). To justify this inquiry, they argued, among others, that with the APRM conceived a voluntary mechanism, and in the absence of 'hard pressure' for compliance, incentives - rather than sanctions - could be the way to strengthen the APRM. Thus the importance of best practices: as templates and models for reform, and as a counterbalance to the temptation to concentrate on what is not working in Africa. In this book, therefore, best practices identified in the twelve CRRs are examined critically and methodically with a view to understanding: how they are conceptualised within the APRM (including their definition and how they are intended to be used to achieve the desired results); how the items reported as best practices qualify to be regarded as such in the sense of being demonstrably better than the rest, replicable and addressing APRM goals; and how they can be strengthened for use as material from peer learning within the APRM and around the continent"--Back cover.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) was developed under the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD), the development framework of the African Union (AU) which replaced the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 2002. Through the APRM, the AU has established a system for assessment of governance in participating countries and for the development of programmes of action to address identified shortcomings. The APRM is a voluntary, 'soft mechanism of supervision which combines self-assessment with regional monitoring. The APRM takes a holistic approach to governance with a mandate covering democracy and political governance, economic governance, corporate governance and socio-economic development. This study considers the role that the APRM plays in the realisation of human rights. It examines the manner in which human rights are reflected in the APRM framework documents as well as the manner in which rights-based principles such as participation, accountability and transparency are reflected in the process. The strengths and weaknesses of various methods of international monitoring to ensure compliance with human rights are examined. The APRM country review reports and implementation reports of Ghana, Rwanda and Kenya are studied in conjunction with reports from domestic and international human rights monitoring bodies and national development plans. The aim of the study is to ascertain whether the APRM adds value to mechanisms established with the purport of assisting in the realisation of human rights. This study illustrates that the APRM plays a complementary role in human rights monitoring. It is clear, however, that it is only able to play a meaningful role if the state under review is motivated to undertake reform. Human rights have a role to play with regard to the APRM process itself and in identifying and addressing governance shortcomings. The specific and time-bound commitments in the Programme of Action are unique to the APRM. If these commitments are developed through a rights-based approach and their implementation adequately monitored the APRM could play an important role in inducing compliance with human rights.

Book excerpt: This paper outlines some critical challenges for research institutes working on the African Peer Review Mechanism, and examines aspects of conducting research on governance in Africa. The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) -- the continent's chief home-grown governance monitoring tool -- has come of age. Nine African presidents (from Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, Algeria, South Africa, Benin, Uganda, Nigeria and Burkina Faso) have now discussed the governance landscape in their respective countries with their peers. At the APR Forum meeting in Addis Ababa on 31 January 2009, the first five will table reports on the progress and challenges of implementing the Programmes of Action (POAs) that seek to remedy the governance deficiencies identified in the exercise. There will also be important decisions taken on the composition of the Panel of Eminent Persons, currently chaired by Nigerian Professor Adebayo Adedeji, that was meant to have been reconstituted two years ago. This collection of papers reflect on some of the challenges facing research institutions and civil society organisations involved in the APRM and similar processes where they are examining the performance of their governments. Research institutes are usually employed to provide vital technical know-how, sharp analytical skills and critical independence and objectivity. But they also have to grapple with a raft of issues, including lack of trust, remuneration, mission creep, tight timelines, threats to their independence and integrity and balancing their own views with those of the public that they research, and the government and/or donors that will sign their paycheques.
