Mauritius has been ranked as Africa's best-governed country in the 2025 Chandler Good Government Index (CGGI), marking a significant lead in governance across the continent. Despite this achievement, Africa still records the lowest average governance score globally, though modest gains suggest an upward trajectory.

• Among Africa's 28 ranked states, Mauritius (51st globally), Rwanda (59th), and Botswana (61st) lead the continent.
• The Chandler Institute of Governance, through Director (Knowledge) Dinesh Naidu, highlighted Rwanda as the world's best-performing low-income country, proving wealth is not a prerequisite for effective government.
• Tanzania showed the most improvement, rising from 82nd in 2021 to 78th globally due to digital governance and regulatory reforms under its Digital Tanzania Project.
