Mo Ibrahim Index

Governance on the continent has marginally improved on the continent, in the past ten years. This is according to the 2016 Mo Ibrahim Index of African Countries. Leading the pack are Liberia and Ivory Coast as the most improved. There are a few surprises on the top spot such as Togo and Zimbabwe, while the Central African Republic, Eritrea, and Madagascar and Libya were the most deteriorated countries on the continent. To assist us on this topic, we were joined by Richard Murray- Acting head, Sif Heide-Ottosen, she is the analyst of the Ibrahim Index of African Governance and Yarik Turianskyi is the Programme Manager of SAIIA's Governance and APRM Programme.
