Africa: Ibrahim governance indicators released

The 2010 Ibrahim Index, released this week, shows recent gains in many countries in human and economic development but declines in political rights, personal safety and the rule of law. The Ibrahim Index, launched in four cities across the continent, is published by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, an organisation committed to supporting good governance and great leadership in Africa. The Index assesses the delivery of public goods and services to citizens by governments and non-state actors across 88 indicators.
