As we undertake the APRM High-Level Mission to Europe, organised with the support of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), I look forward to engaging our strategic partners and key institutions across Berlin, Brussels, Paris and London.

This mission offers an important opportunity to strengthen APRM’s partnerships in Europe, deepen cooperation on governance, and share Africa’s experiences in peer review, accountability and democratic governance.

Through these engagements, we aim to expand collaboration, mobilise strategic support, and reinforce the APRM’s role as Africa’s premier governance self-assessment and peer-learning mechanism.
