\u2022 Ghana scored higher than the continental average which is 50.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At sub-category level, Ghana\u2019s highest rank is in Rights (3rd) and lowest in Infrastructure (29th).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Over the past five years Ghana’s overall governance quality improved (between 2006 and 2010).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ghana ranked 2nd out of 16 countries in West Africa.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the 2011 Index, Mo Ibrahim, Founder and Chair of the Foundation, said, \u201cWe have seen this year that Africa\u2019s young majority are no longer willing to stand for the selective approach to governance adopted by many of our continent\u2019s governments.<\/p>\n

“Our young people are demanding a holistic, equitable and inclusive approach to the management of their countries. The Index findings echo these demands \u2013 achievements in economic management and human development, however striking, will not be realised if a democratic deficit persists.<\/p>\n

“Africa\u2019s success stories are delivering the whole range of the public goods and services that citizens have a right to expect and are forging a path that we hope more will follow. \u201d<\/p>\n

The bottom five for the year are Central African Republic, Congo Democratic Republic, Zimbabwe and Chad.<\/p>\n
