This instrument came into force on 15 February 2012 with about 10 countries signing and ratifying the document. Another 28 countries signed but have not ratified while 18 countries still have a neutral position on it. The ACDEG has since 2012 been ratified by 45 countries. The instrument aims at reinforcing the commitment of the AU member states towards the promotion and consolidation of democratic governance and human rights on the continent of Africa. The formulation of this charter was stimulated by different decisions, declarations, resolutions and normative instruments of the AU. These instruments include the 1981 African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights; the 1999 Algiers Decision on Unconstitutional Changes of Government in Africa; the 2000 Lomé Declaration on the Framework for an AU Response to Unconstitutional Changes of Government; the 2002 AU Declaration on the Principles Governing Democratic Elections in Africa; and the 2002 Constitutive Act of the AU. The instrument seeks to promote adherence, by each state party, to the universal values and principles of democracy and respect for human rights; promote and enhance adherence to the principle of the rule of law premised on the respect for, and the supremacy of the constitution and constitutional order in the political arrangements of the state parties. It also seeks to promote the holding of regular free and fair elections to institutionalise legitimate authority of representative government as well as democratic change of governments; prohibit, reject and condemn unconstitutional change of government in any member state as a serious threat to stability, peace, security and development amidst other objectives. The charter further empowers the African Union Commission (AUC) through the Democracy and Electoral Assistance Unit and the Democracy and Electoral Assistance Fund to offer technical assistance to AU member states towards the strengthening and improvement of their electoral institutions and processes. The implementation of ACDEG is envisaged to take place at national, regional and continental levels, leveraging normative instruments, policies and structures at those levels as stipulated under Article 44 of ACDEG. Since the adoption of the charter in 2012, different countries have made tremendous effort in the entrenchment of democracy and good governance in Africa. However, of the 45 African countries signatory to ACDEG, only the Republic of Togo has since submitted its initial state report on the implementation of the principles and commitments to the charter. As part of efforts at organising citizens for civic engagement, and empower them to engage the government to live up to their responsibility of implementing the objectives of ACDEG, ActionAid Nigeria is deploying a research tool to sample the perception of the public on the level of adherence of the government and duty bearers to the provisions, principles and core objectives of AGA and ACDEG. It is against this background, that ActionAid Nigeria is engaging the service of a Data Analyst, to provide support to developing an informed citizen report that guides future engagement with policy maker.
