I argue that although this initiative is not the only means to, nor the end of determining whether the NEPAD is being implemented, the ECGI can be used as a good indicator of whether one important dimension of the NEPAD is implemented. I establish whether, through an analysis of the ECGI, that dimension of the NEPAD is being implemented by looking at the countries where the ECGI was implemented. I maintain the position that through the NEPAD, good governance in African countries is promoted and that is why the authors of the NEPAD document created the ECGI.enAccountabilityAfrican Peer Review MechanismAfrican UnionCorporate governanceDevelopmentEconomic growthEconomic and corporate governance initiativeNew partnership for Africa's developmentEconomic governanceThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
