Africa: Report shows African governance improving, calls to address weaknesses

African governance is improving but significant challenges remain. That's the message of a summary report released by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). "Striving for Good Governance in Africa," an overview of the state of governance in 28 countries covering 72% of Africa's population, says that while African political governance is improving, on some fronts such as tax evasion and corruption, there is still a long way to go. It proposes a ten-point action plan for reversing Africa's governance deficits.
