President Mnangagwa has commended the APRM findings and emphasised that Zimbabwe is ready to work with the organisation to improve the lives of its people.
“The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) remains a vital tool for promoting good governance, transparency, and accountability across the continent,” he said.
He highlighted that Zimbabwe is committed to using the APRM to strengthen its democratic institutions and advance national development.
He also called for greater collaboration among African nations to ensure that peer reviews lead to tangible reforms and improved service delivery for citizens.
There was an official handover by His Excellency Abdelmadjid Tebboune, President of the Republic of Algeria and outgoing Chairperson of the APR Forum, to President Kaguta Museveni of Uganda, the incoming Chairperson of the APR Forum.
The Heads of State are also expected to consider and adopt the Draft Agenda and Programme of Work for the 35th Ordinary Session of the APR Forum.
Zimbabwe’s engagement with the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) began when President Emmerson Mnangagwa acceded to the voluntary self-monitoring framework of the African Union (AU) during the 29th Session of the APR Forum of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2020.
Since then, Zimbabwe has demonstrated its commitment to transparency, accountability, and sustainable development.
