Sierra Leone, Others Score Big on Economic Freedom
Osman Koroma The United States Think-Tank Atlantic Council shows that Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Ethiopia registered the biggest score changes in a global ranking of free and prosperous countries, from 1995 to 2022.
These countries have suffered the worst longest civil wars ever recorded in Africa history and they are recording the biggest moves in a freedom index.
It was recorded that “The 2023 Freedom and Prosperity Indexes focuses on six social indicators of prosperity — income, health, education, environment, minority rights and inequality,” and of the three, Sierra Leone and Rwanda made the most significant gains in their freedom scores, according to the index.
Sierra Leone ranked 84th globally and increased its freedom rankings by 25 points, while Rwanda ranked 109th and improved its freedom score from 33.4 in 1995 to 53.5 in 2022.
The index reads the benefits of countries allotted in their rankings noting that “Countries with higher scores in our freedom index also attain higher levels of prosperity. In all regions, countries that are free tend to also be prosperous,” according to the report.
These significant strides underscore the rise from the ashes of these countries that have, in turn, helped Africa record a higher-than-global average improvement in the rate of prosperity.
The Report’s author said that Sub-Saharan Africa is the region where prosperity has grown fastest.
Africa’s growing prosperity was buoyed by improvements in environment and health, whose scores rose by 25.7 and 15 points.
These factors continue to exhibit in these and other countries, highlighting a sustained growth in economic freedoms and positive future prospects for Africa’s growth story.
Great news for our country
Great news for our country
We’re indeed moving in the right direction
To me, these are all false rankings /strategies manipulated by the PAOPA killer government to be recognized.
Are you saying that Sierra Leone is a prosperous country when its citizens are undergoing untold sufferings?
Except the rouge politicians or Maada Bio and his government officers but most citizens live far below half a dollar a day.
Infact Sierra Leone is tanked as one of the poorest country in West Africa. How can it be prosperous? Sierra Leone has the most unhappy people in Africa.How can it be prosperous?
The American people are Honest with a high level of integrity. Americans in Sierra Leone can bear witnesse that Sierra Leoneans are indeed under a dictatorial regime that is highly undemocratic.
Please, Please Author, kindly educate the people of Sierra Leone how the Americans came about this type of ranking.
Is Sierra Leone really a prosperous country? If it is, it does not reflect in the lives of the average Sierra Leoneans.
Please be honest to tell the people of Sierra Leone where you got this information.
Thank you very much….!
You can take a man from the bush but you can’t take the Bush from.
Congratulations to us Sierra Leone and
