This report describes the progress
African countries are making on strengthening the quality of
policies and institutions that underpin development. It
presents Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA)
scores for the 39 African countries that are eligible for
support from the International Development Association
(IDA). This year's report expands coverage to include
Djibouti and Yemen from the Middle East and North Africa
region (MENA). The scores, which are on a scale of 1 to 6
with 6 being the highest, are an indicator of the quality of
these countries' policy and institutional framework
across 16 dimensions grouped into four clusters: economic
management (Cluster A), structural policies (Cluster B),
policies for social inclusion and equity (Cluster C), and
public sector management and institutions (Cluster D). The
overall quality of policies and institutions in Sub-Saharan
African countries held steady in 2013, with divergent
performance across countries. The average CPIA score for
Sub-Saharan Africa held steady at 3.2 in 2013. But beyond
the flat regional average, there was considerable divergence
in country performance. For the region's IDA borrowers,
scores were in a range of 3.9 to 2.0. A broad-based
deepening of policy reforms lifted Rwanda's CPIA score
in 2013, and the country joined Cabo Verde and Kenya at the
top of the score range. Other top performers include Burkina
Faso, Senegal, and Tanzania (all with scores of 3.8). South
Sudan and Eritrea remained at the low-end of the score range
(2.1 and 2,0, respectively), weighed down by deep policy and
governance challenges. The quality of policies and
institutions in MENA countries lags behind the average for
middle income countries in all CPIA categories with scores
lower relative to the Sub-Saharan African IDA country
average. Since 2005, neither Yemen nor Djibouti has improved
its overall rating; indeed, Yemen's overall policy and
institutional score actually declined. The average CPIA
score for countries in MENA was 3.0 in 2013, unchanged from
2012. Both Djibouti and Yemen had unchanged scores,
indicating that despite unsettled conditions in the region
and lingering challenges in global economic conditions,
these countries generally opted to maintain their existing
policy framework. Djibouti's CPIA score (3.1) was
slightly higher than the average while Yemen's was on
par with the average. |
