Within these it looks at 18 individual topics, ranging from trade and agriculture, to education and health, political and economic governance, and domestic resource mobilisation and official development assistance. The report is a unique collaborative exercise in mutual accountability. It looks at Africa as a whole, while recognising the remarkable degree of diversity across the continent. It combines an emphasis on monitoring the delivery of commitments with a strong results orientation, and also aims to provide a practical forward-looking tool for political leaders, as well as a resource for all those engaged on these issues in Africa and internationally.
