NAPRM-GC spell-out blue print for Oversight Committees
Accra, Aug. 26, Ghanadot/GNA
- The National Peer Review Mechanism Governing Council (NAPRM-GC),
on Wednesday spelled out a decentralized blue print to
empower Metropolitan, Municipal and District Oversight
Committees (MMDOC) to own, manage and disseminate the
African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM).
The blue print seeks to create avenue for faith based
groups, women and gender activists, public and private
sector operators, and traditional rulers to actively
participate in the monitoring and evaluation of Ghana's
National Programme of Action towards the promotion of good
governance at the grassroots level.
Other participating groups are Ghana Private Road Transport
Union (GPRTU), youth activists, security personnel, disabled
persons,
community based organisations and
non-governmental organisations.
Professor Miranda Greenstreet, NAPRM-GC Member, who spelled
out the blue print said the establishment of the MMDOC was
to empower vital focal institutions and groups at the local
levels to access, share and disseminate information, ideas,
and experiences of the APRM process.
Inaugurating the Accra Metropolitan, Adenta Municipal, Ga
East and South Districts APRM Oversight Committees in Accra,
Prof. Greenstreet said the peer review mechanism was to
reverse the deteriorating destiny of African countries.
She cited coups, wars, conflicts, leadership failure, and
dictatorship, abuse of human rights, corruption and
maladministration as factors contributing to dwindling
fortunes in Africa.
Prof. Greenstreet said the committees would collaborate with
National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) and serve as
a link between the Council and the grassroots to enhance the
monitoring and evaluation of its programmes.
