During the 35th Forum of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), convened alongside the African Union (AU) Summit, the Chairperson of the AU Commission, H.E. @ymahmoudali, reaffirmed that governance is fundamental to achieving peace, resilience, and inclusive growth as outlined in Agenda 2063. He highlighted the critical role governance plays in ensuring stability and development across the continent.

The Chairperson emphasized the APRM's voluntary and peer-based review process, which aims to enhance accountability, promote institutional reforms, and facilitate shared learning among African nations. This model is vital for fostering a collective commitment to uphold democratic principles and drive economic transformation. The focus on governance reflects the broader aspirations of Agenda 2063, which aims for a prosperous and united Africa.

The discussions at the forum are pivotal as they not only address challenges but also set the tone for strategic initiatives moving forward. With governance as a central theme, the APRM seeks to hold member states accountable and encourage best practices, thus influencing policy decisions that align with sustainable development goals. The outcomes of this forum can significantly impact Africa's progress towards stability and inclusive growth.
