The Pan-African Parliament (PAP) on Wednesday voiced commitment to a partnership with the Panel of Eminent Persons of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), which will see PAP allocate a day during each of its upcoming sessions to analyse and debate reports from reviewed countries and ensure that national plans of actions are implemented.  The arrangement will start during PAP’s next session which takes place in October. "We cannot overstate the achievements of the APRM nor the significant progress made in the number of countries that have undertaken a review,” Professor Amos Sawyer,   Chairperson of the APRM’s Panel of Eminent Persons told the delegates. "However, we believe that regular engagement should take place in a structured way to help advance the implementation of the APRM in member countries.”  Sawyer said countries that had completed reviews faced difficulties in implementing national plans of action due to the fact that they were not catered for in national budgets. "Gaining access to the network of Pan-African Parliamentarians will thus play a key role in ensuring that PAP MPs would push for the inclusions of budget provisions for the implementing of national action plans,” he said.
