Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what progress has been made on the African Peer Review Mechanism within NEPAD on(a) economic values, (b) governance values and (c) corporate values. [87213]

Clare Short

At the Abuja meeting of the NEPAD Implementation Committee, 13 countries signed up for peer review. The full details of the process will be settled in January, but we understand that a group of eminent persons will oversee reviews carried out by technical experts. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa will be involved in the technical reviews of economic governance, and has had a series of useful exchanges on the process of peer review with the OECD DAC.
