ZIMBABWE is set to undertake its first-ever African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) targeted review focusing on economic governance and management, running from Monday until the 18th of this month.
A delegation from the APRM Panel of Eminent Persons is expected to arrive in the country this Saturday to lead and oversee the review process.
During the review, the APRM Secretariat will be working closely with a designated individual national consultant, an international consultant and various stakeholders in all the country’s provinces as they consolidate their data.
The APRM is a self-monitoring instrument, voluntarily adopted by African Union member states to foster peer learning and accountability in governance.
It is a platform for countries to assess their governance performance, identify best practices and address challenges collectively.
Zimbabwe voluntarily acceded to this mutually agreed, self-monitoring mechanism of the AU during the 29th session of the APR Forum of Heads of State and Government held in Ethiopia in 2020.
