The Ibrahim Index of African Governance is the most comprehensive collection of quantitative data that provide an annual assessment of governance performance in Africa. The Index which is compiled by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation supports good governance and leadership in Africa. The four categories of governance as assessed by the Index comprise Safety and Rule of Law, Participation and Human Rights, Sustainable Economic Opportunity and Human Development.
The Ibrahim Index of African Governance was established in recognition of the need for a robust, comprehensive and quantifiable tool for civil society to track government performance in Africa. It is Africa's leading annual assessment of governance established to inform and empower the continent's citizens and support governments, parliaments and the civil society to assess progress.
