Governance
NEPAD-African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) provides a forum for African leaders to assess one another’s performance, recognizing that good governance is a basic requirement for peace, security and sustainable political and socio-economic development, hence the introduction of NEPAD Governance and Public Administration Initiative, which aims at contributing to the political and administrative framework of African countries, in line with the principles of democracy, accountability, transparency, integrity, the respect for human rights and the promotion of the rule of law.

Health
NEPAD Rivers State recognizes health as one of the most serious casualties of the poverty, social exclusion, marginalization and lack of sustainable development that affect the rural populace. NEPAD, through appropriate facilitation, advocacy, leverage and programmes, seeks to address the burden of potentially preventable and treatable diseases that cause unnecessary deaths and untold suffering amongst our people, e.g, HIV/AIDS, maternal and infant mortality and malaria, amongst many.
