High Level Trends Dialogue The principle aim of the High Level Dialogues is to provide a conducive avenue for Member States, AGA Platform Members, civil society and other stakeholders including the private sector, philanthropists, and development actors to engage and share comparable experiences and lessons on how to improve governance, consolidate democracy and foster effective realization of human and peoples’ rights on the continent. The high level trends dialogue is being held under the Auspices of the African Governance Architecture. The African Governance Architecture (AGA)1 is the overall continental framework for promoting, nurturing, strengthening and consolidating democracy and governance in Africa. The AGA seeks to achieve these objectives by among other initiatives facilitating dialogue among Member States, African Union organs, institutions, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), African citizens, civil society and other stakeholders on emerging trends, threats, challenges and opportunities on democratic governance in Africa. The inaugural High Level Dialogue was held in November 2012 in Dakar Senegal and focused generally on the state of governance and democracy in Africa. At that consultation, delegates reiterated the need to ensure a systematic African Union driven assessment and review of Member States compliance and implementation of continental norms and standards on democracy, governance and human rights. The envisaged review complements other democracy assessment initiatives in Africa such as the African Peer Review Mechanism and fosters constructive dialogue on the state of play in Africa relative to democratic governance, with emphasis on addressing the challenges of compliance and effective implementation.
