NEPAD/HGSIC-3-2003/APRM/Guideline/O&P 9 March 2003 6.2 The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has been requested to conduct the technical assessment in economic governance and management, and the African Development Bank (ADB) in banking and financial standards. The two institutions will be the primary resource institutions in their respective areas of competence. 6.3 On matters relating to human rights, democracy and political governance, the APR Forum will request the appropriate organs, committees or units of the African Union (AU) already legally tasked with similar specific assessment responsibilities and have capacity to conduct the assessments. These organs, committees or units include: a. the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), b. the African Committee of the Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, c. Central Organ of the Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution or the Peace and Security Council (PSC), once the latter is established, d. Pan-African Parliament (PAP), e. The Conference on Security, Stability, Development and Cooperation in Africa (CSSDCA) Unit, or f. Any other organ, committee or unit of the AU as they are established or operationalised such as the election monitoring committee and the Court of Justice. 6.4 Where the above AU institutions have inadequate or no capacity, the APR Panel will recommend, for approval by the APR Forum, appropriate African institutions with requisite capacity to support the relevant AU institution, with a view to build its capacity, in conducting technical assessments.
