Multinational - African Peer Review Mechanism Institutional Support Project (APRM-ISP)

The present operation is a stand-alone Institutional Support designed to support African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) in its efforts to improve the quality of governance in Africa. It is designed to assist the APRM Secretariat to offer support to Regional Member Countries (RMCs) in participating in and implementing recommendations of the APRM while maximizing opportunities for sharing experiences and best practices. The proposed project has three mutually reinforcing components: (i) Promoting the Universality and Effectiveness of the APRM; (ii) Strengthening Institutional Capacity and Knowledge Management for a Reinvigorated APRM; and (iii) Project Management. Through this intervention, the Bank will contribute to ongoing efforts to make the APRM a continental governance instrument fit for purpose, as a pragmatic tool for measuring the governance performance of African countries. This will contribute to the consolidation of good governance, which is a critical enabler to the attainment of economic transformation and inclusive growth in Regional Member Countries.
