  • The 'Kagame Reforms' of the AU: Will They Stick?
    Occasional Paper 299 July 2019 The ‘Kagame Reforms’ of the AU: Will they stick? YARIK TURIANSKYI & STEVEN GRUZD African perspectives Global insights Abstract At the 27th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly of Heads of State in 2016, Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame was entrusted with leading the institutional reform process of the AU. The decision to reform the organisation was a response to the seemingly perennial issues of an inefficient bureaucracy, lack of implementation, funding shortages, overlapping institutional mandates and political battles. These issues continue to hinder the AU’s ability to promote peace and security, and socio-economic and political integration on the continent. As a result, ‘The Imperative to Strengthen our Union: Report on the Proposed Recommendations for the Institutional Reform of the African Union’, commonly known as the ‘Kagame Report’, was presented in 2017 as the blueprint for change at the organisation. The report was premised on creating a powerful commission and sustainable self- financing. It identified 19 recommendations (later expanded to 21) that covered six reform areas, namely: focusing on fewer priority areas, ensuring a clear division of labour between AU structures, making the AU Commission more efficient and effective, strengthening the current sanctions regime, improving decision-making and the implementation of resolutions after AU summits, and ensuring equitable regional representation and gender parity in the recruitment process. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review and interviews with key stakeholders, this paper aims to provide an objective assessment of the progress made, including on the implementation of the Kigali Financing Decision, the implementation of decisions, and the changing mandate of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

  • Reflections on a Three -Year J
    SDGs IMPLEMENTATION IN AFRICA REFLECTIONS ON A THREE-YEAR JOURNEY 14th June 2019 | Kigali Convention Center, Rwanda CONFERENCE BROCHURE Reflections on a Three -Year Journey SDGs IMPLEMENTATION IN AFRICA – REFLECTIONS ON A THREE-YEAR JOURNEY 14th June 2019 | Kigali Convention Center, Kigali, Rwanda BACKGROUND Following the adoption of the SDGs in September 2015, Africa has made many commitments towards achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda 2030 and the Africa Union Agenda 2063. At the adoption of the SDGs, Africa’s starting point was lower than all the other regions. Africa was at cross roads, with low tax revenue to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on the one end of the problem, and enormous development needs on the other end. Infrastructure gaps alone were estimated at USD 130–170 billion a year, with a financing gap in the range USD 68–108 billion. The SDGs were conceptualized and adopted during a period of global economic and financial transition. Emerging evidence over the last three years (2015 – 2018) of tracking SDGs progress on an annual basis indicates complex challenges still prevail in Africa. Many intricacies, ambiguities and questions continue to predominate and stand in the pathway forward towards Africa’s achievement of these Goals. It is without doubt that there is much “unfinished business” that must be addressed for the SDGs to be achieved in Africa, foremost of which are the need (i) to bridge understanding between SDG conceptualization and implementation pathways, (ii) to address global financing for the SDGs in Low Income Countries, particularly those in Africa, (iii) to raise domestic financing efforts, which still are suboptimal with an estimated gap of 3-5% of GDP, and (iv) to engage the private sector.

    ESID Working Paper No. 120 The rise of the economic technocracy in Rwanda: A case of a bureaucratic pocket of effectiveness or state-building prioritisation? Benjamin Chemouni 1 July, 2019 1 University of Cambridge Email correspondence: [email protected] ISBN: 978-1-912593-26-2 email: [email protected] Effective States and Inclusive Development Research Centre (ESID) Global Development Institute, School of Environment, Education and Development, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK www.effective-states.org The rise of the economic technocracy in Rwanda: A case of bureaucratic pocket of effectiveness or state-building prioritisation? Abstract The Rwandan Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MINECOFIN) is recognised as the most effective organisation in the Rwandan state. The objective of the paper is to understand the organisational and political factors influencing MINECOFIN’s performance since the genocide and link them to the wider conversation on the role of pockets of effectiveness (PoEs) in state-building in Africa. It argues that, because of the Rwandan political settlement and elite vulnerability, MINECOFIN is not a PoE but only a good performer in a generally well functioning state. The Ministry overperforms first because, unsurprisingly, the nature of its tasks is specific, requires little embeddedness and allows a great exposure to donors, making its mandate easier to deliver in comparison to other organisations. MINECOFIN also performs better than other state organisations because it is, more than others, at the frontline of the elite legitimation project since it is the organisation through which resources are channelled, priorities decided, and developmental efforts coordinated.
