The African peer review mechanism as a tool for enhancing domestic resource mobilization and public finance management in Africa: issue paper 2017

Abstract

The purpose of the present report is to review the role of the African Peer Review Mechanism in developing strategic, operational and normative pathways for enhanced domestic resource mobilization and private finance management. That role and the mechanism’s efficacy in carrying it out have become even more urgent in the light of the demands for African countries and citizens to be integrally involved as the primary agents in the efforts aimed at achieving the sustainable development goals and implementing agenda 2063: The Africa We Want with 36 countries acceding to its voluntary processes and the structures of the peer review, the mechanism is well placed to leverage institutional competences, skills and experiences to enhance domestic resource mobilization and public finance management.
