African governance experts from over 25 independent National Research Institutions have arrived in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa for a two-day meeting to discuss the preparation of the third edition of the African Governance Report (AGR III) and related national reports on the theme: “Elections and the Management of Diversity in Africa.” At the opening ceremony, Abdallah Hamdok, Director of the Governance and Public Administration Division of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) said, “the African Governance Report is probably the most comprehensive report on African governance that provides credible assessment on all areas of governance, including political, economic, administrative and institutional.” He however, pointed out that the reports are not an end to themselves, and said, “We expect to embark on effective follow-up through dissemination of the report, and policy engagement at the national level.” He added, “We want to identify governance deficits on the continent and provide policy recommendations to address them.”
