Public Service and Administration Minister, Senzo Mchunu, says South Africa is currently preparing to undergo its 2nd Generation Country Review process.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a country, we have already adopted the Roadmap, setting out clear timelines for conducting the Country Review Process and stakeholder consultations,\u201d Mchunu said, addressing the media in Pretoria earlier on Thursday.<\/p>\n
South Africa is one of the founding Member States of the African Peer Review Machanism (APRM).<\/p>\n
The APRM is a tool for sharing experiences, reinforcing best practices, identifying deficiencies and assessing capacity-building needs to foster policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated sub-regional and continental economic integration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe mechanism is further aimed at fostering good governance on the continent, through systematic peer learning and self-assessment,\u201d Mchunu said.<\/p>\n
Mchunu said 40 countries have voluntarily acceded to the APRM over the years.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat milestones have to date been achieved on a continental level as well as here at home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Twenty-three countries have undergone the APRM Country Review process and two more countries will join the group of governance reformers by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n
The APRM, formed in 2003, is a mutually agreed instrument voluntarily acceded to by African Union (AU) Member States.<\/p>\n
Its primary purpose is to foster the adoption of policies, standards and practices that lead to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated sub-regional and continental economic integration through sharing of experiences and reinforcement of successful and best practice, including identifying deficiencies and assessing the needs for capacity building.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Cabinet declared the readiness of the country to undertake the APRM 2nd Generation Review Process.<\/p>\n
This was followed by the establishment of APRM national structures and commencing with the substantive work of the second generation review in earnest. \u2013 SAnews.gov.za<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Public Service and Administration Minister, Senzo Mchunu, says South Africa is currently preparing to undergo its 2nd Generation Country Review process. \u201cAs a country, we have already adopted the Roadmap, setting out clear timelines for conducting the Country Review Process and stakeholder consultations,\u201d Mchunu said, addressing the media in Pretoria earlier on Thursday.
