This year's Mo Ibrahim Index African Governance Report of 2024 ranked Seychelles first. The report gathers data over 10 years from 2014 to 2023. Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean, also ranks among the top 10 most improved countries between 2014 and 2023, along with The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Angola, Mauritania and Djibouti. Among areas Seychelles has not scored highly are law enforcement, sustainable use of land and forests and health quality. The Mo Ibrahim Index is the most comprehensive assessment of governance performance in 54 African countries, incorporating an expanded governance scope, including environment and equality; strengthened indicators, and a section fully dedicated to Africa's Citizens' Voices.
