INTER-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has inaugurated a 47-man Ad Hoc Committees on Peer Review Mechanism to assist elected members to implement Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), which is part of their manifestos.
Speaking in Abuja yesterday, National Chairman, Yabagi Sani, said through the Peer Review Mechanism, elected members can identify the challenges and opportunities in their states.
He said the review would assist them in developing strategies and activities to achieve inaugural speech promises, manifestos and SDGs.
Sani added the mechanism is an important tool to help the council to assess progress members are making towards achieving goals.

“As leaders, we have a role to play in implementation of SDGs. We are responsible for ensuring implemented policies and programmes aligned with SDGs and that we make progress towards achieving other targets.
“The Peer Review Mechanism is an important tool to help us assess progress our elected members are making towards achieving manifestos and SDGs.
“It provides an opportunity for our governors to learn, share best practices, and identify areas they need to improve”, Sani said.
Sani noted IPAC will also engage with stakeholders, including government agencies, civil society organisations, private sector entities, and individuals, to ensure everyone is involved in implementation of the Peer Review Mechanism.
