Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG)

« Back to Glossary Index

The Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG) is a tool that measures and monitors governance performance in African countries. The Mo Ibrahim Foundation (MIF) (2007) defines governance as:

The provision of political, social and economic public goods and services that every citizen has the right to expect from their government, and that a government has the responsibility to deliver to its citizens.

In the IIAG, country performance in delivering governance is measured across 79 indicators organised into four key components: Security & Rule of Law, Participation, Rights & Inclusion, Foundations for Economic Opportunity and Human Development.
