Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe has been ranked as one of the worst-governed countries in Africa by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.<\/p>\n

The organisation claimed that Zimbabwe was failing to advance political diversity, a free civil society, and free and fair elections, according to NewsDay.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is ranked 29th out of 55 nations in the just published 2022 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG), which measures how well each nation is run.<\/p>\n

The only country in the SADC region ranked lower than Zimbabwe is the Kingdom of Eswatini, which is ranked 35.<\/p>\n

Botswana sits at number five, South Africa at number six, Zambia 24 and Mozambique sits at number 26.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe scored badly on political and civil liberties where it was given the following scores:<\/p>\n

a). 12.5% on freedom of association,<\/p>\n

b). 26.9% on political pluralism,<\/p>\n

c). 14.1% on civil society space and<\/p>\n

d). 31.3% on democratic elections.<\/p>\n

On a positive note, Zimbabwe scored 100% in terms of laws that protect women from violence.<\/p>\n

The 2022 IIAG showed that governance in Africa has stagnated since 2019 due to democratic backsliding, climate change, insecurity and the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation said the stagnation posed a serious threat to the continent\u2019s decades of progress.<\/p>\n

The research comes barely a month after the Zimbabwe Democracy Institute released another report showing a shrinking democratic space in the post-Robert Mugabe era.<\/p>\n
