President Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged Zimbabweans from various backgrounds including civil society to participate in African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) processes.
Mnangagwa said this during the launch of the APRM in Harare yesterday.
Harare acceded to the APRM in February 2020 and has since undergone a targeted review process under the theme “Economic Governance and Management.”
Mnangagwa noted that the country received its targeted review report during the African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government in February this year.
He said the government had already developed a National Programme of Action Matrix to implement the recommendations arising from the review process.
Mnangagwa urged all Zimbabweans, including government ministries, civil society organisations, academia, the private sector and ordinary citizens, to actively participate in APRM processes.
“The APRM is not for the government alone, but for every Zimbabwean. The mechanism is a vital tool for inclusive growth and sustainable socio-economic development,” he said.
Mnangagwa further reaffirmed Zimbabwe’s commitment to Pan-Africanism, regional integration and economic sovereignty, stressing that Africa must chart its own development trajectory.

“The participation in the APRM will strengthen national institutions, deepen reforms and entrench governance principles that promote efficiency, fairness and excellence,” he said
Foreign Affairs minister, Aarron Murwiwa, said launch of the APRM marks another step in Zimbabwe’s efforts to enhance governance, accelerate socio-economic transformation and contribute to Africa’s collective development agenda under Agenda 2063.
