The Cluster promotes good governance through direct support to the secretariat of the Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and to the APRM process at the regional and country levels. It is composed of two Sub Clusters:

• Political governance
• Economic and corporate governance

Coordinator: Mr. Khabele Matlosa, Programme Advisor, UNDP

Co-Coordinator: Mr. Leonard Ognima, Director for Political Affairs, AUC

Political Governance:
The Sub-cluster gives high-level advice to the NEPAD Secretariat and has participated, with other cluster members, in NEPAD Steering Committee meetings, Heads of State and Government meetings, and Africa Partnership Forum. UNDP worked closely with partners, including in regional and country workshops, to develop both the Capacity Development Strategic Framework, which was endorsed by Ministers of Public Service, and the Communication and Advocacy Strategy.

Coordinator: Mr. Khabele Matlosa, Programme Advisor, UNDP

 Co-Coordinator: Mr. Kaye Saul, Manager, Department of Governance and Public Administration, NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA)

Economic Governance:

The Sub-cluster contributes to improvements in macroeconomic policy, which helps create a positive economic environment for growth and achieving the MDGs. Its yearly flagship publication, the Economic Report on Africa (ERA), and its advocacy activities, such as the annual Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, inspire thinking and progress in many African countries. Improvements in macroeconomic policies as well as favorable world conditions have led to strong growth in over the past few years.

Coordinator: Mr. Said Abejumobi, Chief, Governance and Public Administration Division (GPAD) , ECA.

 Co-Coordinator: Dr.Renne N’guettia Kouassi, Director Economic Affairs Department, AUC
