4.5 Expected outputs, related actions,
responsible actors, and indicators of
success/failure
141. Universal membership is, and must remain, the
aspiration of the APRM. To that end, during this
Strategic Plan period, we aim to launch a
coordinated campaign to persuade countries to join.
To these ends, we aim to:
142. This section revisits the key priorities and expected
outcomes and matches them up with the body that
is responsible for follow-up and implementation,
and the measurements and indicators of success
and failure.
(i) Draft and submit for approval by a statute for
APRM integration into the AU processes and structures
and implement the same;
(ii) Take all necessary steps to ensure that APRM
Secretariat’s human resources, procurement, financial,
accounting, auditing and other processes are fully aligned
with relevant AU rules and regulations;
(iii) Organise training programmes for relevant staff
to ensure APRM processes that will be already
aligned are also internalised in the day-to-day
operation of the institution;
(iv) Ensure that, in the process of integration, the
legal status of the APRM Secretariat office and
officers in the Republic of South Africa are
addressed once and for all through an
appropriate host country agreement signed
between the AU and the Republic;
(v) Strive, in the process of integration, to ensure
the APRM retains a modicum of independence
and operational autonomy to adequately
discharge its responsibilities;
(vi) Develop and adopt a detailed APRM MoU
ratification campaign strategy and take it to
each AU member state that is not within the
APRM today;
(vii) Identify and make use of all available forums to
engage senior policymakers from these
countries, including through the organisation of
a series of APRM accession workshops for
these countries; and
(viii) Devise strategies to enhance APRM relevance
for Africa’s regional economic integration
agenda.
