Sierra Leone has broken into the top ten best-governed nations in Africa, ranking 9th on the latest World Economic Governance Index (WEGI).
According to the index, the new ranking signals a significant upward trend in institutional transparency and political stability within the country. The elevation places Sierra Leone alongside established governance leaders such as Mauritius and Cape Verde, marking one of the most notable improvements recorded in the region during the latest reporting cycle.
The index highlights a competitive governance landscape across Africa, with Sierra Leone securing a position among the continent’s top performers, including Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Senegal, Malawi, and The Gambia.
The World Economic Governance Index provides a composite score for each nation by aggregating data from multiple international datasets and expert assessments. The methodology evaluates governance standards, transparency, institutional effectiveness, and political stability.
Analysts suggest that the improved ranking could serve as a positive signal to international investors and development partners. By offering an independent, data-driven assessment of governance standards, the index helps reduce perceived risks associated with foreign direct investment (FDI) while guiding policymakers in identifying areas that require further reforms.
For Sierra Leone, the 9th-place ranking represents more than symbolic recognition. It signals to the global community that the country is making progress in modernizing its administrative and legal frameworks to promote a more stable and transparent economic environment.
