Africa: Forum urges African media to play crucial role in APRM

A media forum in Kigali urged African journalists to play a crucial role on the ongoing African peer review Mechanism (APRM). Representatives of African civil societies and country officials from the APRM asked journalists to play their role in advocating the APRM at large, to raise awareness on the activities of APRM in the continent. The Forum, the first of its kind, took place on the sidelines of the Sixth African Governance Forum (AGF), in which participants are reviewing the progress so far made as well as identifying setbacks in the implementation of the APRM.
