APRM too broke to operate

Professor Mustapha Mekideche told representatives from over 30 Africa states gathering in Gaborone this week that, member states are not paying their annual subscriptions, while others are reluctant to accede to the initiative.

“The funding challenge is so serious that we were forced to postpone assessment of some countries. It is embarrassing. Member states should appreciate that it is important to pay up the dues before we can approach our funding partners,” professor Mekideche said on Wednesday.
