Translating evidence to improve governance in Africa

Governance data in Africa has never been this important. Policymakers, researchers and governments are more interested in generating and using sound data to measure Sustainable Development Goals’ progress. The 2023 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) report underscores the need to focus on data to drive progress, assess government performance, set policy priorities and ensure trust in governments.

The Africa Integrity Indicators (AII) remain one of the unique initiatives on the continent. It generates quality, comprehensive and timely governance data on governance in practice, examining how policies are implemented to support governments, citizens, and civil society. Furthermore, it assesses key social, economic, political and anti-corruption mechanisms at the national level across all 54 African countries.
