Graph: Africa - GDP and Governance

This graph shows the governance score for the top 20 African countries (by GDP). The scores range from around -2.5 to 2.5, with higher values corresponding to better governance.

Data Source: World Bank

We can see that the countries with scores close to or greater than zero are South Africa, Tunisia, Ghana, Botswana, Namibia and Mauritius. Coupled with the findings from a previous post on population, GDP and GDP per capita, it seems that only South Africa appears in both charts, i.e. having high population / GDP / GDP per capita, as well as having a good governance score. Further analysis could look at these countries with good governance scores and evaluate other parameters and hence their potential for profitable investments.
