Abstract

This statement delivered by Dr. Kojo Assan (Director of NEPAD) Ministry of Regional Cooperation and NEPAD in Ghana at the Implementation of African Peer Review mechanism (APRM) in Ghana. Dr. Assan, on his remarks highlighted that, Ghana's approaches to, and organizational structures for, the implementation of NEPAD and APRM have widely been acknowledged as credible and remarkable blueprints worthy of emulation to the rest on the continent. That is why this opportunity takes on even more significance to Ghana and myself as the Director of NEPAD Directorate at the Ministry of Regional Cooperation and NEPAD in Ghana. The APRM is an instrument that would be voluntarily acceded to as self monitoring and control mechanism to ensure compliance with the principles of NEPAD.
