The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), the Centre  for Policy Studies (CPS) and the African Governance Monitoring and Advocacy  Project (AfriMAP) cordially invite you to the launch of the South African APRM  Monitoring Project (AMP) Report on Tuesday 28 June 2011 at the Pan African  Parliament, 19 Richards Drive, Gallagher Estate, Midrand, commencing at  10:00am.


The Public Protector, Advocate Thuli Madonsela, will be the keynote  speaker, followed by a response from the Director of ActionAid South Africa, Ms Zanele Twala.


We are also honoured to be joined at the launch by the Mayor of Tshwane, Kgosientso  Ramokgopa, and Mayor of  Cape Town, Patricia de Lille, who will make some brief remarks. There  will be a press conference immediately after the event.


The report, entitled Progress in implementing the APRM in South  Africa, is the first attempt to gauge the views and opinions of civil  society about the APRM and its progress in  this country, while measuring the commitment  levels of the government of South Africa in implementing its National Programme  of Action in critical areas such as justice sector reforms; crime; corruption; political  participation; public service delivery; press freedom; managing diversity;  deepening democracy and overall governance,  amongst other issues.


The report is a culmination of a year-long collective effort among CSOs  to jointly assess and analyse governance in South Africa. It finds that  progress has been admirable in a few areas,  but slow in several others. Please see the  attached programme.


Please RSVP to Ms Baaitse.Nethononda@wits.ac.za by 24 June 2011 for catering purposes, as places  are limited.


For media enquiries, kindly contact Mr Jeggan Grey-Johnson, jeggang@osisa.org or 083 620 0578.

We hope to see you at the launch.
