Corporate governance

ASI assisted the African Development Bank to develop their strategy for promoting corporate governance in Africa, and to implement the African Peer Review on corporate governance, which is one of the core initiatives under the NEPAD programme of action. Based on our view of corporate governance as a mechanism for promoting national development, we developed a framework for promoting corporate governance that is aligned to the profile of Africa's private sector and that contributes to addressing the wider challenges of political and social development.
 
Our recommended programme of action thus included inter alia, the promotion of good governance within small and medium scale enterprises as well as public listed companies, and incorporates the principles of corporate social responsibility as core elements of corporate governance. It also built on the use of corporate governance as a lever to enhance political and economic governance overall.
