Strengthening African Governance: Index of African Governance, Results and Rankings 2009

This 2009 Index of African Governance measures the degree to which...five categories of political goods [are] provided within Africa's fifty-three (forty-eight in prior Indexes) countries.Even with the addition of North Africa, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Cape Verde, and Botswana are the four best governed countries this year...

By comprehensively measuring the performance of government in this manner, that is, by measuring governance, the Index is able to offer a report card on the accomplishments of each government for the years being investigated-2000 and 2002 (for baseline indications) and 2005, 2006, and 2007 (the last years with reasonably complete available data for nearly all African nation-states). For those analysts who would like separately to explore the performance of countries on various aspects of governance, the Index includes scores in each of the five categories.
