Development, good governance and south-south cooperation: The African peer review mechanism

This chapter analyses the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) in the light of the version of the criteria to assess development partnerships prepared by the high-level task force on the implementation of the right to development and submitted to the Working Group on the Right to Development in 2010 (A/HRC/15/WG.2/TF/2/Add.2). After setting the Mechanism in the context of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), it examines the nature and functioning of the Mechanism, explores whether it is a development partnership, and then focuses on the content and process of integrating the right to development into the Mechanism.
