The objective is to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of ACAs in the participating countries, based on selected indicators. It is also an attempt to assist the ACAs to assess their status and performance compared to internationally recognised principles and standards. A broader goal is to encourage ACAs in the region to build on the experience and good practice of the ACAs under review.
