ZAMBIA is among 13 African countries that are on course of accelerating progress with increasing improvement on the overall governance score.
This is according to the latest Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG), a tool that measures and monitors governance performance in African countries.
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation (MIF) defines governance as the provision of political, social, economic and environmental goods that a citizen has the right to expect from their state, and that a state has the responsibility to deliver to its citizens.
Published since 2007, the IIAG assesses governance performance in 54 African countries over the latest available 10-year period. It provides a framework and dashboard for any interested audience to assess the delivery of public goods and services and public policy outcomes in African countries.
The IIAG constitutes the most comprehensive dataset measuring African governance, providing specific scores and trends at African continental, regional, and national level, on a whole spectrum of thematic governance dimensions, from security to justice to rights and economic opportunity to health.
