The Mo Ibrahim 2009 Index of African Governance ranked Mauritius first out of the 53 African countries. Among the other top 10 performers Botswana (4th), South Africa (5th), Namibia (6th) and Lesotho (9th) were from Southern Africa.
Mauritius, with 82,8 points, has topped the list of Africa's best-governed nations for the third year in a row, followed by Cape Verde (78) and the Seychelles (77,1), while Somalia (15,2) again landed at the bottom.
The Ibrahim Index measures the delivery of public goods and services to citizens by government and non-state actors across 84 indicators of governance. Those governance indicators are grouped in four overall categories: Safety and Security, Participation and Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development.
The Ibrahim Index of African Governance was created in recognition of the need for a robust, comprehensive and quantifiable tool for civil society to track government performance in Africa. This year data were compiled with the active advice and assistance of a number of African institutions, including Afrobarometer, the American University in Cairo , the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA), and L’Institut de Recherche Empirique en Economie Politique (IREEP).
