"The
Peer Review Mechanism is a uniquely African approach to the challenges
of African governance. Its promise will only be realized with
the political will to make the mechanism work, as a tool to strengthen
democratic governance throughout Africa." 
"Africa
is beyond bemoaning the past for its problems. The task of undoing
that past is on the shoulders of African leaders themselves, with
the support of those willing to join in a continental renewal.
We have a new generation of leaders who know that Africa must
take responsibility for its own destiny, that Africa will uplift
itself only by its own efforts in partnership with those who wish
her well."
