AfriMAP, the Africa Governance Monitoring and Advocacy Project, have submitted a contribution focusing specifically on the implementation of European governance policies in relation to Africa. The analysis and recommendations in relation to EU policy in this area are based on the experience of AfriMAP, the Africa Governance Monitoring and Advocacy Project established by the Open Society Institute’s network of African foundations, in reporting on governance issues in Africa.
- The European Commission must therefore grasp the opportunity presented by a review of the governance profile approach that we understand is proposed for 2008 :
- to listen to the views of governance experts from European and African civil society organisations, as well as member states and African governments, and adapt its governance approach accordingly;
- to move away from an approach in the governance profiles that is overly reliant on a quantitative and mechanistic ‘score card’, towards a more qualitative approach that can inform intelligent programming of development assistance.
