African Solutions: Best Practices from the African Peer Review Mechanism

The result of research into the policies, programs, and experiences identified as best practices in the Country Review Reports of 12 countries, this volume seeks to understand how these successful policies can be strengthened for use as teaching materials within the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and around the continent. From Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda, this study was commissioned and coordinated by the Governance and APRM Program of the South African Institute of International Affairs and contains in-depth explanations of the conceptualization and applications of the best practices included.
