Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Vice President Nangolo Mbumba has urged stakeholders in the country to fully support the work of the country review mission and actively participate in its deliberations for Namibia to receive a comprehensive report.<\/p>\n

Mbumba was speaking during the official launch of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) country review mission to Namibia at the State House yesterday.<\/p>\n

The APRM is a mutually agreed instrument, established in 2003, which member states of the African Union have voluntarily acceded to as part of an African self-monitoring mechanism for measuring performance in their governance.<\/p>\n

It reinforces best practices and achievements, rectifies deficiencies in governance and socio-economic development processes and encourages transformational leadership on the African continent.<\/p>\n

The mechanism\u2019s position is to drive effective governance among participating member states in the four thematic areas of democracy and political governance, economic governance and management, corporate governance and socio-economic development.<\/p>\n

According to Mbumba, to strengthen effective governance, Namibia voluntarily acceded to the APRM in January 2017, while President Hage Geingob inaugurated a 13-member national governing council in November 2019.<\/p>\n

The governing council was inaugurated to serve for three years, with a clear mandate to provide strategic guidance of the APRM processes in Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappily, last year, the national governing council commenced the process of undertaking the country\u2019s self-assessment report that paves the way for the African Peer Review Mechanism to conduct a fully-fledged review of the Republic of Namibia in 2021. It is in this context that the University of Namibia conducted the country self-assessment report from 1 September 2020 \u2013 August 2021,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mbumba explained that the country self-assessment report is a critical component of Namibia\u2019s full review report as it signals its preparedness to conduct a base review.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important component of the country self-assessment report is the development of the national plan of action, which a country is required to implement,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the APRM panel Obeni Sefue, who was accompanied by the body\u2019s CEO Eddy Maloka, said 41 members were currently signed up by the APRM.<\/p>\n

He added delegates from 11 countries such as Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Liberia, Mali and Lesotho are part of the Namibian country review.<\/p>\n
