“Is the Momentum on the APRM Slowly Dying Down?” Asks JCTR
Abstract
Despite the commendable efforts made by National Governing Council (NGC) to popularise the African Peer Review Mechanism, more can and should be done. Educating citizens on such important processes should not only be a once off initiative but an ongoing one. This continuous education on the APRM, debates on the process, collection of citizens’ perspectives on the process, should reflect in the plans and budgets of government.
Description
Peer review is a starting point for us Zambians to begin to reverse and end governance shortcomings and strengthen the best practices in governance. This statement documents the concerns raised by The Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) on the need to enhance the momentum by major sectors towards the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM).
