1.1.3. APRM Principles 17. The APRM depends on a number of essential factors and principles to be truly effective. These include, inter alia: national ownership and leadership by the participating country; inclusiveness and broad-based participation; accountability; technical competence; credibility; and, freedom from political manipulation. 18. Rules and procedures incorporating these principles have been developed to guide all stakeholders through the review process. They include the APRM Base Documents; the ‘Guidelines for Countries to Prepare for and to Participate in the APRM’ (Country Guidelines); and, the Standard Questionnaire for APRM assessment that is sent to all countries. 1.2. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE APRM PROCESS IN TANZANIA 19. Tanzania acceded to the APRM by signing the MoU on 26 May 2004 and the national Parliament ratified the MOU on 1 February 2005. The review process in Tanzania commenced with the appointment of Hon. Bernard Kamillius Membe (MP), Minister of Foreign Affairs, as the APRM National Focal Point for Tanzania. Awarenessraising activities were carried out with key stakeholders, including Members of Parliament and civil society organisations (CSOs), to facilitate implementation. 20. This process resulted in the establishment of the NGC, an inclusive body with members from government, civil society and the private sector, as shown in Table 1.1.
