African Civil Society in all its multifaceted forms is recognised as one of the key stakeholders in the innovative African Peer Review Mechanism. As the APRM consolidates its early lessons of experience, and takes stock of progress made by the mechanism since it was initiated in 2004, the importance of an active and engaged civil society in the APRM’s effort at addressing governance challenges in its participating states is becoming increasingly apparent. Yet at the same time, evidence suggests that the APRM is not only enhanced by civil society, but that the APRM has the potential to be of tremendous use and facility to civil society as well. This volume of essays from leading civil society and governance experts from across the African continent looks at the critical role of civil society in the APRM, and draws lessons on how to both improve the engagement of civil society in the APRM, as well as indicate how the APRM might better be integrated into the activities of organisations and communities striving to improve the quality of governance and development in African States.
