[Mo Ibrahim Foundation] London -- Covering the 2014-2023 decade, the 2024 IIAG shows that Africa's overall governance progress came to a halt in 2022, following four years of almost complete stagnation, as substantial advances in both humanand economic development are undermined by the ongoing deterioration of the security and democratic landscape. However, this concerning continental average picture masks very diverse performances and trajectories across the 54 African countries and between the 16 IIAG sub-categories.
