Published since 2007, the Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) assesses governance performance in 54 African countries over the latest available ten-year period. It provides a framework and dashboard for any interested audience to assess the delivery of public goods and services and public policy outcomes in African countries. 
 
The IIAG constitutes the most comprehensive dataset measuring African governance, providing scores and trends for African countries on a whole spectrum of thematic governance dimensions, from security to justice, to rights and economic opportunity, to health and environment. The IIAG dataset and online and Excel data portals provide average scores and trends at country level as well as for the continent, African geographical regions or Regional Economic Communities (RECs) or specific groups.
