<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nOnce established, the new NGC will be expected to lead the country self-assessment process and ensures its credibility and ultimately produces the Country Self- Assessment Report (CSAR) for the APRM.<\/p>\n
The NGC structure is at the core of the functioning and success of the country\u2019s APRM, as its key role is to mobilise and ensure participation of all stakeholders and citizens in general to the APRM processes.<\/p>\n
The structure is comprised of representatives and key stakeholders from government, civil society, private sector, marginalized communities and organisations representing women, youth and people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
The APRM statute demands that Member States set up the NGC as national structure that will, among others, ensure the strategic functioning of the APRM national level and provide strategic policy guidance for its implementation, ensure that the country review process is technically competent, credible and free from political manipulation.<\/p>\n
The NGC should also lead the APRM sensitization programmes country-wide and ensure that all stakeholders participate in the process and own it as well as ensuring that all the concerns outlined in the self\u2013assessment reports and in the country review reports are addressed in its National Programmes of Action (NPOA).<\/p>\n
The APRM, formed in 2003, is a mutually agreed instrument voluntarily acceded to by African Union (AU) Member States as an African self-monitoring mechanism to foster good governance in the continent through a systematic peer learning and self-assessment mechanism.<\/p>\n
Its primary purpose is to foster the adoption of policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated sub-regional and continental economic integration through sharing of experiences and reinforcement of successful and best practice, including identifying deficiencies and assessing the needs for capacity building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
