Review of Agreement – 2005

Many CPA provisions related to transitional arrangements, including the Assessment and Evaluation Commission (AEC), were not established immediately after the formation of the National Unity Government. After considerable delay, the AEC was established in October 2005; and the Commission was co-chaired by Norway and Kenya.¹ The commission’s main responsibility was to assess and evaluate the implementation of the CPA. It contained 13 members and four observers and met in plenary sessions once a month. The AEC had four working groups: power-sharing, wealth-sharing, security arrangements and three areas chaired by international members (Italy, USA, UK and the Netherlands).
