This sub-indicator assesses the extent to which there is inequality within the economy, irrespective of the actual performance of the economy. This includes for example structural inequality, both actual and perceived, that is based on group (racial, ethnic, religious, other identity group), education, economic status, or region (such as urban-rural divide) as well as opportunities for groups to improve their economic status, for example through access to employment, education or job training.
View full country tableAs citizens are the recipients of public leadership and governance, the assessment of governance performance of the IIAG is accompanied by the Citizens’ Voices dataset in an effort to contextualise the official and expert assessment data in the IIAG with the reality on the ground as perceived by citizens.
MIF has been working with and supporting Afrobarometer, the leading pan-African research institution conducting public opinion surveys on the continent, and the 2022 IIAG framework gives these more prominence. Formerly scattered at various levels in the IIAG, citizens’ assessments of various governance components are now highlighted in a Citizens’ Voices section, providing a comprehensive 'reality check' to complement the IIAG results.
This section mirrors the IIAG categories and provides public perception data on the closest proxies to the IIAG measures. However, whilst these measures are available to compare across the IIAG, it is important to note that their scores do not form part of the calculation for Overall Governance.
