Abstract
The African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) is a method introduced by the African Union to enable African countries to analyse and improve their systems of governance. South Africa's participation in the APRM is voluntary. This report is the final Western Cape Provincial submission to the National APRM team and the Ministry of Public Service and Administration. It will inform the Country's Self Assessment Report and Programme of Action, which will be handed over to the APRM Secretariat. The report synthesised information from submissions received through province-wide consultations with civil society, government and individuals. A multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research team has been responsible for collating the Western Cape Provincial APRM submission in a process whose finalisation was overseen by senior staff from the Society, Culture and Identity (SCI) Research Programme at the Human Sciences Research Council. South Africa was the only country to duplicate the National Governing structures across its nine provinces, and this was done to allow for the expression of local and province-specific responses. The report outlines the importance of participation at Provincial level, maps the APRM consultation process and context within the Western Cape, and presents responses to the APRM questionnaires. It presents these responses and their analysis according to inputs under each of the APRM key focus areas.-
