Persistent coup, war in Africa worsen continent's governance and security - Mo Ibrahim Foundation reports

Nearly half of Africa's citizens live in a country where governance has worsened over the past years as deteriorating security erodes progress, according to a new report.

The annual Ibrahim Index of African Governance report found despite positive progress in 33 countries, overall governance was worse in 2023 in 21 countries, accounting for just under half of Africa's population, compared with 2014.

For several countries, including densely populated Nigeria and Uganda, the deterioration in overall governance had worsened over the second part of the decade, according to the report released by Sudanese - British billionaire businessman Mo Ibrahim's foundation.

Ibrahim pointed to the coups in West Africa and war in Sudan, and said poor governance also fostered violence and instability.
