The implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) will be in focus at the Sixth Africa Governance Forum in Kigali, Rwanda this week. The Africa Governance Forum (AGF) initiative was launched in 1997 as a UNDP-Regional Bureau for Africa/UNECA joint initiative within the framework of the UN System-wide Initiative on Africa (UNSIA). The forum brings together African leaders, donors, civil society and the private sector to deliberate the challenges of promoting good governance in Africa. See the agenda.
