The index compiles an annual rating for African nations based on 93 indicators in 4 conceptual categories: safety and rule of law, participation and human rights, sustainable economic opportunity, and human development. The index has only improved with 0.2 points over the last four years, and half of the top ten ranked countries have witnessed a decline.
