Organisation
African Monitor
As a Pan-African body established in 2006, African Monitor aims to assess the link between:
- The adequacy and appropriateness of the development processes and commitments
- The extent to which specific development pledges by African governments and their international partners are being kept
- The extent to which the implementation of development commitments delivers tangible results to communities, particularly poor and marginalised youth, women, the disabled, children and minorities; and
- How the impact on the grassroots feeds back to all the role-players in the development delivery system – from community through to international levels.
Our mission is to be an independent catalyst to monitor development funding commitments, delivery and impact on the grassroots, and to bring strong additional African voices to the development agenda.
