H.E Dr Julius Maada Bio further said that “Member States affected by unconstitutional changes of government should be encouraged to collaborate and cooperate with the APRM and AGA in conducting targeted reviews on unconstitutional changes of government as part of the development of the AGR-2023. The APRM targeted reviews are a collaborative and facilitative approach that is used to address specific issues related to governance challenges. It ensures that the outcomes, findings, and recommendations are African-driven and African-owned which is critical in building collective resilience and strengthening capacities of Member States in addressing the structural, catalysts and trigger causes of unconstitutional changes of government.”
The Assembly reaffirmed that the APRM is a diagnostic tool for early warning on the continent. The AGR 2023 will be an original undertaking that will provide recommendations leading to legal and policy reviews within the AU, Regional Economic Communities/ Regional Mechanisms and Member States. The APRM appreciates the daunting nature of the project ahead but believes that collaborating with the AU Commission and other relevant stakeholders in the governance landscape will ensure that it is conducted in a way that is inclusive, objective and solution-oriented.
The AU Extraordinary Summit on Terrorism and Unconstitutional Changes of Government in Africa was held at SIPOPO Conference, in Malabo, Republic of Equatorial Guinea from May 27 to 28, 2022.
