{{The Star}}-{Rwanda and Tanzania have been named regional best in governance, beating Kenya, which was ranked 17 in Africa, according to the latest continental survey.}<\/p>\n
Rwanda ranked 11 with a score of 60.4 while Tanzania ranked 15 with an overall score of 58.2 in the 2014 Ibrahim Index of African Governance. The report was based on four major determinants; safety and the rule of law, participation and human rights, sustainable economic opportunity and human development.<\/p>\n
Kenya had a score of 57.4, beating Uganda, which was ranked 19 with a score of 56.1. A scrutiny of the report indicates that over the last year, Kenya has experienced a decline in national security, public management and the quality of education.<\/p>\n
The country’s biggest strides were in public participation and infrastructure. Ironically, Rwanda which is a small economy compared to Kenya, scored highly in gender mainstreaming.<\/p>\n
The report ranked Mauritius as the best-governed state in the continent with a total score of 81.7, followed by Cape Verde at 76.6 and Botswana at 76.2. The poorest performers were the war-torn Central African Republic and Somali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
