The African Peer Review Mechanism, which promotes and re-enforces good governance on the continent, turns 10 this Monday, 21 October.

It is a mutually agreed programme that has been voluntarily adopted by the member states of the African Union.

Its anniversary also coincides with Africa Week, an annual event held at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Earlier, Derrick Mbatha sat down with Ambassador Maged Abdelaziz, Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Africa (OSAA) to discuss the importance of having an instrument to monitor governance in African countries.
