Pan-Africa Peer Review

The LGA of England and Wales has been commissioned by United Cities & Local Governments Africa (UCLGA) to pilot peer review across the African continent during 2012. The funding for this peer review has been provided by the government of Luxembourg. In 2010, the LGA already carried out a peer review with its South African counterpart (SALGA) under the CLGF Good Practise Scheme.

A cohort of local government Mayors, Chief Executives and experts from 13 African countries were recently trained on the principles of peer review. Throughout the course of this year African-led and UK-shadowed peer reviews will be delivered in Namibia, Ghana, Uganda, Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
