2006 Activities

AfriMAP works with Soros foundations and national partners in Africa to research and report on three themes: justice sector and the rule of law; democracy and political participation; and effective delivery of public services. In 2006, it released reports on the justice sector in Malawi and Mozambique, with high-level officials attending the launch events and keynote speeches by the Minister of Justice in Malawi and a member of the Supreme Court in Mozambique.

AfriMAP also commissioned evaluations of the national implementation of the African Peer Review Mechanism in Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, and Mauritius, and helped organize a workshop at the African Union summit in Banjul, the capital of Gambia, that focused on the African Peer Review Mechanism and on ways that civil society could engage with the process.
