African Peer Review Mechanism (Aprm) in Ethiopia: the Role and Engagement of Civil Society Deribe Assefa Aga

African peer Review mechanism (APRM) is a voluntarily self assessment mechanism in which each participating country's government is evaluated and monitored from the four dimensions of governance: Democracy and political governance, economic governance and management, corporate governance and socio-economic development. The role and substantial engagement of civil society is crucial in validating the outcomes of APRM. This work will have invaluable contributions in disseminating information about the essences of APRM. It also discloses the role and engagement of civil society in the review mechanism by considering the case of Ethiopia. The author strongly believes that this work would serve as inputs for policy makers, civil society organizations, professional and the public at large.
