Mo Ibrahim Foundation announces new updates to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance data portal

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation has launched an enhanced Data Portal, offering interactive access to the Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG). This comprehensive dataset evaluates the public governance performance of all 54 African nations across political, social, and economic dimensions over a ten-year period. The updated platform introduces intuitive tools like Country Profiles and Measure Pages, allowing users to drill down into specific indicators and compare national performances against continental averages. These features facilitate deeper exploration of governance trends, highlighting which countries have improved or deteriorated in areas ranging from rule of law to health outcomes. This resource is vital for open_data initiatives because it democratizes access to high-quality, standardized governance metrics. By making complex data interactive and accessible to researchers, journalists, and citizens, it empowers evidence-based advocacy and transparent monitoring of public service delivery, fostering greater accountability and informed decision-making across the continent.
