Public Management(Ecofin Agency) - The Mo Ibrahim Foundation has just published its 2020 report on good governance in Africa. And for the first time in 10 years, the Ibrahim index slid on the continent. Mauritius remains the best performer in terms of governance with a score of 77.2 while Somalia is the worst with 19.2. By regions, in 2019, Southern Africa was the best performer in terms of good governance with an index of 53.3, followed by West Africa (53.1), North Africa (52), East Africa (46.2), and Central Africa (38.8). Let’s note that only eight countries have improved their performance in the four main categories of the Mo Ibrahim Index over the last decade, namely, Angola, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Seychelles, Sudan and Togo.
