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

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation has enhanced its Ibrahim Index of African Governance data portal, offering updated tools for exploring public governance metrics across all 54 African nations. This open initiative allows researchers and civil society to analyze complex datasets on rule of law, health, and economic opportunity through interactive country profiles and comparative measure pages. By visualizing ten-year trends and contrasting national performances against continental averages, the platform democratizes access to critical development indicators. These features empower users to identify governance strengths and weaknesses, fostering a deeper understanding of how public goods are delivered and experienced across the continent. This resource is vital for open data because it transforms dense statistical information into accessible, actionable insights. By providing transparent, longitudinal data on governance, it supports evidence-based policy-making and holds governments accountable, enabling citizens and researchers to actively monitor progress in democratic and social development.
